Berg Adventures Mount Elbrus Expedition, June 29 – July 14, 2012
We’re heading to Russia for one of our favorite trips of the year, the Berg Adventures Mount Elbrus Expedition. Standing at 18,586ft/5665m, Mount Elbrus is considered to be the highest peak in Russia, one of the illustrious Seven Summits. We’ll travel from the cities in the north to the far south of the Caucasus Mountains. Get ready for an exciting mountaineering expedition that also explores the cultural side of the world’s largest country. From the white nights of St. Petersburg to the rural charm of the Caucasus region, these climbers are in for a true adventure!
