Climbing the highest peak of Russia & Europe | Mt Elbrus by the North route

Eli, I said it before, but I will say it again, you truly are one of a kind! AND may the Force be with you, ALWAYS!

[@heinzgassner1057]

Congratulations. As an Austrian Alpine enthusiast, I know about the effort that is not visible on this video. Great job.

Well done, Eli! I am super proud of you. you are awesome, very tough, and produce the best vlogs from Russia. Thank you!

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

I wonder if she has been training. An additional impressive video from Eli. video has actually come so naturally to her. She has actually obtained success extremely quick, I can not be a little jealous of her, though the quality of her videos are much above mine as well as above a lot of youtuber's. I have actually been blogging in Russia for over 4 years but the youtube algorithm has actually not been as kind to me as it has actually been to her. I can see that you are interested about Russia. Can I ask you, to critique my channel and explain what is required and how I can create better videos?

Tallest mountain in Iran is called Mt Alburz and tallest mountain in Russia is Elbrus. There is a linguistic link between the two. Love your videos.

Elbrus mountain is Iranian name, and Iranian civilization .

Glad you made it safely. I kept thinking about the recent tragedy on Elbrus and the people who died. Beauty and danger in one special place.

Eli , you are awesome.Have the strength and dynamic will power to reach the summit of Mt.Elbrus (if not the summit still an accomplishment)

[@AlexLunyov]

That's awesome. Thank you Eli for sharing your experience. It was so sad to see more and more climbers give up and go back. So much relieving to see you've reached the summit. We're going to Mt. Elbrus this August. Well... Pretty soon.

[@kimokurat8406]

Hello Eli. I just started subscribing to your KZbin channel and I already learned so much about Russia through your vlogs. Thank you. You are such an amazing person. Your determination to reach the summit of Mt. Elbrus is a manifestation of how strong willed person you are. I hope you continue your vlogs because it has a very positive effects on a lot of people of different nationalities like me. I'm from the Philippines now living in California.

[@Adrian-zw6sc]

Fascinating how the tour guide said it can be random and unpredictable who may be susceptible to succumbing to the altitude... even some of the fitter stronger men fail to reach the summit. I love the spectacular scenic views.. especially that sunrise amidst blustery conditions near the top!☀️

[@fstein249]

I am so impressed with your ability to tell a compelling and immersive story as you experience it.

[@ElGato1947]

EXACTLY! Well said, Fred. 😎

[@venucor]

The best trekking vlog ever ❤️

[@JimJenks1]

I was really looking forward to this video since your last summit attempt and you did not disappoint! So proud of you! Beautiful and moving video. Congratulations Eli!

[@svenbeowulfsson641]

Thank you Eli for this interesting and informative video about climbing Mt. Elbrus in the European part of Russia. I admire your drive. Greeting, Sven

[@Ed_Stuckey]

You are one 'tough girl' 💪 - I admire you so much for setting such a high goal and being able to accomplish it. kudos to you. 👍

A wonderful adventure to the top of the mountain Elbrus , with professional climbers. I really enjoyed the video, very cool. I wish you success.👌🏻🏔🌅🔥🔥💯👏🏻

[@Roel922]

Whow I can't even walk 5km on a flat and even terrain with my bag of 11kg. You can not only lift a bag of 25kg but also climb a huge mountain😱!! I have much respect for you doing this! You must also be very strong a lot more then I am🥰.

Me too. 😂💪💪💪💪💪💙💙💙

[@harrydecker8731]

Eli, you are simply amazing. What an adventure! And you had the extra burden of taking your camera so you could share your quest with us. Lastly, it was good that you shared so much practical advice about what it takes to climb such a mountain and precautions to take to be safe.

[@HHH22229]

You’re a very talented lady for sure… interesting, attractive, smart, athletic and you speak English very good. (Your English is very easy to listen to… your accent enhances the words making it sound “pleasing” to the ears.)

[@shawnmclean7932]

Very WELL.

[@bobkaye4440]

Well done! The highest mountain I've climbed is Snowdon in North Wales which is only a fraction of Mt Elbrus, and now I'm too old to go higher. Best wishes to my favourite Russian girl!

How old are you?

[@pandoralechat780]

Wow Eli ! This was such an amazing adventure for you ! It is the challenge of a lifetime and you and the team performed like climbing professionals !The food was unusual and very interesting.Wonderful photography as usual,really enjoyed this episode ! ))

Tks for this most interesting video. I specially say privet to the Lady with the neff cap! Congratulations to all of you who reached the top! Congratulations to all who made an attempt to conquer Mt. Elbrus but had to give up for good reasons.

[@johanholmberg225]

My best congratulations to the charming red haired girl for her beatiful and amazing sports achievement. As poet Goethe said "Wer eine Reise tut, hat etwass zu erzählen" ( = the one who makes a long journey has something to tell) so maybe sometimes in the far and distant future Eli can tell her grandchildren the story when grandma conquired mount Elbrus.....

[@tropicalpalmtree]

Amazing. You should be very proud of yourself, and you should do some more summits.

[@raymondporter2094]

That was an excellent video and I enjoyed watching it. I have friends from North Yorkshire in England who have climbed Mount Elbrus but they are experienced trekkers & climbers who have climbed in the Himalayas, the Alps and the Andes. I don't know whether they went up the North or the South routes so I will ask them when I next see them (we often going camping together). I know that she sometimes suffers altitude sickness but sometimes she does not (it seems very random) but her husband mostly feels OK. I am sure you must feel very proud of your successful climb. Well done!

[@Gilles45]

Elina, you are an extraordinary woman... and so very, very strong, physically and mentally. Much admiration! Following you from the French speaking province of Québec, Canada. Большое спасибо за видео!

[@sergiuszmichalski2833]

Wow, many thanks Eli for showing us beautiful landscapes of Elbrus. Thanks to you I realised that this mountain is not as easy as it looks like even on this video. I was thinking some time ago to go there alone but basis on what I saw on your videos, it definitely needs preparation and professional guidance. Love your videos and your passion so much ❤ Keep doing good job showing us the beauty of our planet. Greetings from Poland.

Very nice video again. I myself was with two friends on the western top of Эльбрус in 1987 (were you already born at this time?), but from the south side and after that we went to Сванетия over the Бетшо перевал.

This is amazing. Glad you had the strength and mental fortitude to reach the summit. Thanks for taking us there, I feel like I somehow experienced it myself.

[@paulreedy9415]

I really enjoyed this video as a trip up a mountain, but also as a view into Russian life. Your English was fine even when you were under the stress of climbing.(I was a climber also and our guide would say "Stop talking and just concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other, and breathing in rhythm with your steps!" He didn't have to tell us twice.) Thanks for this !

[@barryansell5981]

Absolutely well done Eli, that was one hell of an achievement

[@mikep.9371]

A nice 'n Cool way to complete the trek to the summit. You are becoming quite natural in talking to the camera Eli. It really shows when you are passionate about your subject matter. Take care, God bless you, and I hope none of your data ends up lost-in-space with the robinson family (old tv show).

the weather will push to the limit of breakage but human will is more stronger than weather... Great to see you to reach to the top. Love from Pakistan

[@alaingros1132]

Ca me donne envie de tenter l'ascension. Pas facile mais dans mes cordes. L'altitude est supportable sans oxygene et c'est tellement plus sympa que le grand "Barnum" de l'Everest et plus naturel que le Mont Blanc. Merci à Eli de prendre la suite de RT documentaires, dont je suis privé grâce aux bureaucrates arrogants de Bruxelles

I was discussing this today. My parents love to go hiking, when I go for a walk I feel that I should be doing something, I'm just alone, walking in the forest and thinking to myself, what am I doing here?

She has gotten success extremely quickly, I can't but not be a bit jealous of her, though the top quality of her videos are far above mine and better than most youtuber's.

Great video and congrats on your summit of Mt. Elbrus. As an avid mountaineer, this peak has been on my radar for awhile and I have frequently checked in with friend a n Moscow who kept encouraging me to come and climb it. I fear now I may have waited too long, but I am hopeful someday we will be able to freely travel again. The North side looks like a really amazing adventure....definitely this is the more adventurous way to summit than the South side. Thanks for the great video!

Oh Eli thank you so much for giving us such a beautiful experience. Great

[@richardcheatham9490]

My architecture friend, Buz Donahoo (r.i.p.), leader of world climbing and hiking tours via Condor Adventures), would so enjoy this video. I remember all the pre-departure get togethers at my place where all the tourers would come and weigh their packs on my beam scale. If your bag weighed too much he'd make you pare it down. Yes, he'd enjoy this video had he not passed away a while back over in San Torrini after a lifetime of expeditions. To see Eli, with no experience in climbing toting 75 pounds up Elbrus speaks to the grit of her spirit. You be safe over there and get back to 'home base' intact charged up for the next trek.

Hi Eli! It was a tiring experience, however, beautiful and unique. Mount Elbrus is imposing and fascinating like any mountain and I think it is worth climbing or at least visiting. Your experience is definitely informative for us others who see your videos at least have an idea of ​​what you're going to get if you decide to climb a mountain.

" At that time I don't know the answer but now I know.. If I can turned back the time I wish I can be young again so I can do all the 7th summit.. I hv no idea how Elbrus looks like until you show me in your video.. Thanks Eli 😍😍

Меня в детстве папа брал в горы с собой. На Тянь-Шань и Памир. Я помню самое тяжёлое это для меня было акклиматизация к высоте. Но мы специально планировали оставаться на одном месте иногда по пару дней, чтобы привыкнуть к высоте.
