Your measurements
Enter real measurements, not guesses. The exact mountaineering-boot model is confirmed after fitting; for remote north, east and west programs the team may carry additional sizes.
How to measure and choose a rental size →The calculator list is not an automatic reservation. We confirm availability, sizes, dates, final price and payment terms in writing. At collection, we complete a rental agreement and an issued-item record.
Rental rules, documents and deposit values →This is a planning estimate. Route, season, forecast, the current program and your guide determine the final equipment list. Sizes, stock, deposit and final amount are confirmed before collection.
A practical Mount Elbrus south-route starting point
The default starts with four rental days and selects only compatible rentable personal items named in the current south-route program list. Lowa Expedition 6000 boots are selected by default; change the model after an in-person fit.
It is a planning tool, not a substitute for your guide’s final equipment check. Route, season, forecast and personal clothing can change the list. Group equipment and items already included by a program are shown separately and are not charged.
Current Mount Elbrus prices without maintaining two catalogs
Our team edits one base price list. The English calculator refreshes its US-dollar prices automatically once a day, while an administrator can run a manual update at any time.
The downloadable price checklist uses the same current catalog. Summer and winter rules remain separate: winter receives one 10% discount from four days or for more than four complete sets, while the supplied summer rules do not document an automatic long-rental discount. Availability, sizes, deposit and final payment are confirmed before collection.
Bring the personal basics
Collect bulky Mount Elbrus gear in Terskol
Flying with high-altitude boots, crampons, an ice axe and a thick down jacket is expensive and inconvenient. Reserving locally lets you travel lighter and check the fit before heading onto the mountain.

A typical south-route list includes suitable mountaineering boots, crampons, a classic ice axe, helmet, harness, warm layered clothing, waterproof outerwear, gloves, headlamp, eye protection, trekking poles and a daypack. A personal ice screw is added to the north-route preset and to route presets that cross crevassed glacier terrain. Confirm the final list with your guide.
Can I rent Mount Elbrus gear in Terskol?
Yes. ElbrusRental is based in Terskol and rents mountaineering, trekking, camping, ski and snowboard equipment. Reserve in advance so we can confirm sizes and availability.
How does the program preset work?
Choose the route first. The calculator selects compatible rentable personal items from that program’s current equipment list. South-to-south starts at four rental days, south-to-north traverses and Cross programs at five, and north-start, east, west and Kazbek presets at six. The ski-tour preset starts at four days and remains separate from piste skiing. Remove anything you already own before sending the list.

The calculator displays whole-dollar estimates for easier planning. Availability, deposit and the final amount are confirmed before collection.
