Mt. Elbrus Climber Comments
“Your total trip experience gives one a chance to really see Russia and still have a great climbing experience. The three days in St. Petersburg, plus the midnight train to Moscow and the day or so there adds so much value to the trip. I have become so intrigued with St. Petersburg that my wife and I plan to take a trip just to visit that city.
In addition to that wonderful prelude, the time spent in the Caucasus Mountains was incredible. I have other friends who have gone to the Elbrus area and their experience was poor, primarily because of where they stayed and the lack of diversity in the day climbs to allow for acclimatization in preparation for the Elbrus climb. Our lodge was such an unexpected treat, and our day-climbs were great. Your trip is truly one of a kind, and I wanted you to know how I felt. Looking forward to our next adventure.”
“Wow, what a fantastic time I had in Russia! Once again your spirit for adventure, attention to detail, and appreciation for the variety of cultures have combined into a program so excellent that none other could compare. I truly hope I have the opportunity to participate in a Berg Adventures trip again soon.”
“This trip exceeded my expectations. These trips have a cleansing effect on my state of mind. They offer a healthy challenge which leaves me with a sense of accomplishment and bunch of good stories. I return home refreshed and ready to jump back into the rat race with renewed vigour. You and Kellie did an exceptional job guiding our trip. Your patience and attention to our well-being and safety is greatly appreciated. Additionally, you guys are just fun to be around.”
“Thank you for a wonderful experience. We could never have made the summit without your assistance, encouragement and skill. Looking forward to the next climb.”
“Just a note of thanks for your superb planning, leadership and guiding this summer at Mt. Elbrus. Touring St. Petersburg, Moscow and the Caucasus Mountains (and the accommodations) were icing on the cake. Looking forward to our next Berg Adventure.”
BAI was hustlin’ and bustlin’ from Day One until the finish. Our guides throughout Russia were great.”
