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 programme 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 programme are shown separately and are not charged.
Current Mount Elbrus prices without maintaining two catalogs
Our team edits one base price per day in Russian rubles. The English calculator converts that price to US dollars using the current official Bank of Russia USD rate, adds 15% and rounds up to the next whole dollar.
The downloadable price checklist uses the same live prices, so it updates whenever our team changes a base price. 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. Mountain Guide programme clients receive 15% after eligibility is confirmed; professional terms for guides, companies and qualified mountaineering athletes are agreed individually. Availability, sizes, deposit and final payment are confirmed before collection.
