The weather was fine and quiet, except of the summit part.

The current speed record on Elbrus belongs to Andrzej Bargel (Poland) – 3.23.37 made in 2010 on International Elbrus Race

We’ve been climbing there by ourselves while Vitaly was running, so were able to make some pictures of Elbrus Champion.
