Hi all.
I'm just starting to plan an expedition to Elbrus in 2018 (I know it's a good while off, I like to plan)! We are looking to climb the mountain from the north side doing the usual route starting from base camp. We're not going to be using a guiding company for the climb itself but we would like to find a company willing to sort out permits and logistics for us, i.e. getting us from the local airport at Mineralnye Vody to the base camp and back again on completion of the expedition.
Would be grateful if anyone can recommend a company that can help us with this. I understand that the profitable bit is in guiding clients up the mountain but we're very firm that we want to do this bit ourselves.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
