Elbrus sea­son is just around the cor­ner! The snowy slopes of the high­est peak in Europe awaits climbers and skiers alike. We’ve have three trip dates avail­able in June and July, with the Elbrus Ski Descent option on our June 19^th trip. Skiers can join us for some great schuss­ing down the slopes of this 18,450 foot peak! And climbers can accli­ma­tize on Elbrus on our July 17^th trip and then imme­di­ate­ly after­wards climb Kil­i­man­jaro on our Elbrus and Kil­i­man­jaro Com­bo for a Sev­en Sum­mits whirlwind!

You have prob­a­bly heard from our many recent blogs about our client favorite guide Ossy Freire who led the Elbrus climbs last year. He will be join­ing us again for all three climbs of Elbrus! Climbers love the great sto­ries Ossy has to tell about his climb­ing adven­tures in Asia and South Amer­i­ca. His encour­ag­ing words help climbers achieve their goals and keep a great out­look on the dif­fi­cult climb ahead.

“Ossy was not only a great guide but he was a friend to myself and all of the climbers on the trip. Bea­cuse of him, I will book anoth­er trip with Ossy and Moun­tain Mad­ness in the future.” ~ Fred M. Elbrus ​’10

In a con­tin­u­ing effort to improve upon our trips, we found a new hotel locat­ed direct­ly across from the Krem­lin at the Assem­b­leya Nikit­skaya! This four star small hotel will pro­vide a com­fort­able and relax­ing expe­ri­ence before and after your sum­mit climb. The suites offer great views of the coun­try’s cap­i­tal and it’s cen­tral loca­tion makes it easy to explore the city on your down time.
