Thanks to Sasha, Oleg, Uri and
Oksana for a memorable journey through the Caucasus mountains
and Elbrus. They are some of the most lovely and friendly people
that I have come across. I am very excited to visit again and
make an attempt from the south face.

Elbrus is a place that every
geologist should visit. A wide variety of rocks, interesting
scenery and an active volcano all in spectacular part of Russia.
In Sasha you have a guide with deep local knowledge and love of
his country. His contribution to this trip is enormous.

6th of the 7 summits. Summit day was long and hard, but
fantastic to get to the top. A great team, good organization and
good food. Many thanks again.

A huge thank you to Sasha.
This expert team of Russian guides for helping me summit Elbrus

I had a really great
trip. Everything was well organized, the group and the guides
were all really nice and helpful. I didn’t reach the summit but
it was a great experience for me and for future climbs.

This journey was very
important to me for personal issues. I dreamt of summiting that
gorgeous mountain. Hell, I did not! Huge disappointment.
However, the people I net, the experience I went through will
store in my memory for long. Sasha, Oksans and Igor – you are
fantastic people, hard working, friendly, open-minded!
Congratulations on your Professionalism and Responsibility, you
did your best!

Thank you all for such a
memorable journey – Oxana for all the carbohydrates, Sasha for
all the stories, and Igor for keeping us safe! Seriously
unfortunate not to include enough summit days. Maybe I`ll be
back one day to conquer your favorite mountain. Tanks a million.

I have really enjoyed the
whole Elbrus experience. The leadership was sound and related to
the team. The North Face was tough and we were a little unlucky
with the weather. This has happening to me before on Akonkagua,
so I appreciate the difficulty it involved.
I found the trip challenging and whole trip leaving me with fond
memories of mount Elbrus.

Very good trip North Face
Rocks, so does Lenz. The journey as important, as the end. I`ll
be back.

The lesson learned from this
trip: there is more to life than the goal. The journey is where
its at. Reach the summit in your head and you`ll be satisfied.

From the beginning of the trip, arriving in Moscow, the
organization and prompt response to the never ending “Russia”
factor was dealt with superity. Sasha particularly showed the
patience of a saint and ensured we arrived safely for each part
of our itinerary, while it was waiting for a chair loft pr
negotiating passport control.
The local food was plentiful (always asking for extra) and
tasting. In summary the trip was so well organized I would have
believed that Sasha even has a word with Heaven to make the
weather perfect too! |

amazing. A fascinating experience. Could not be have gotten to
the summit without your help and knowledge. Always enjoyed

Thanks again for making everything easy for us. I wish you every
success. And I hope we will meet again. Thank you. |

It takes a well planned and executed
plan to get a lazy old man (me) to the
trip за Mt-Elbrus. Sasha led a
wonderful expedition of Irish, Welsh, Scotch, Norwegian and one
American (me). An excellent plan, well done.
Thank you, Sasha. |

Dear Sasha,
Many thanks for organizing a wonderful trek to the summit of
Elbrus. Your guidance was superb and your timing impeccable. It
was a privilege to travel to such remote part of Russia with
such a respected guide. I do hope we will travel together in the
future… perhaps to Siberia or Northern Mongolia! You must meet
us in Ireland in the near future. It would be a pleasure to
return your most gracious hospitality.
Thousands thanks |

Our trip well organised and everybody reached the top of
Elbrus – 11 from 11! Everybody was on well mood. I’ll advise my
mountaineering friends to go on this trip.

We would have been lost without Sasha (quite literally in
the blizzard on Elbrus). Sasha ensured food. Accommodation and
buses were always available on time – we mean feet in Russia.
Cheers! |

very well under testing conditions. The group bonded very well
which helped to overall enjoyment of the expedition. |

Michael
O’Connor, Ireland, July 2006:
Amazing. The walking has been great but tough – summit day
was incredibly exhausting. The hotel in Terskol was fine and the
local cafes satisfactory – although more variety in food would
be welcome. If possible the basic nature huts were a bit of a
shock. Sasha was very professional and facilitating overall a
very positive experience to date. |

My second trio so I knew what to expect. Walking was good,

Looren Woolham, June 2006:
Sasha was a very experienced and capable guide on Elbrus. He
looked after me on the mountain, I was suffering from attitude
illness, headaches and fatigue – he encouraged and motivated me
to complete the climb (up and down) and for his help I am very
grateful. I would travel with Sasha on any trip – he has a
lovely personality and is very helpful.
P.S. Sasha you are very good at treating women, well better than
Irish men! |
