History of the 8-day Regular Guaranteed Departure Tours.
First time we introduced 8 day standard itinerary in the season of 2004 year. Before that moment the tour package included two overnights in Moscow. Since 2004 direct hotel reservations in Moscow became easy for foreigners and that allowed us to make that service optional. The 8 day tour program is the optimal itinerary for those who want just "come and climb" without any other sightseeing or hikes.
Since that time the destination became more and more popular which brought some additional problems. Several years ago mostly skilled and shape people came to climb. Now more and more people come absolutely without any previous experience in mountains and with very different shape. This does not affect strong climbers in a group because they go their own pace with one of guides while less experienced participants go their own pace with another guides but season by season that slightly reduces 'average' success rate of public groups.
However average success rate stays pretty high - about 80 percent. Please do not be disoriented with this higher rate in comparison with average rate for Mt. Kilimanjaro climbs. Elbrus is definitely harder than Kili and that high rate is only because of hard work of guides in groups.

2008 year season.
2008 season had worse weather than normally. Particularly August and September were pretty rainy.
There was normal (about 10 percent) yearly rise of requests but many people cancelled their trips in August because of war in Georgia. The war had absolutely no affect on North Caucasus and Elbrus region but its 'publicity' was high in Western mass media. That is why number of tourists in Caucasus had no visible rise in 2008, in common there was a bit more visitors than in 2007.
Participants in 8 day public groups: 186 people (+1 in comparison with 2007).
Participants who have made an attempt: 175 people.
Participants who have climbed the top: 136 people.

2009 year season.
2009 season had colder weather than normally. Particularly mid July - mid August period was rainy. It seems that was the worst season regarding weather for the last 5 years. Normally weather allows to go and even if it is bad some participants still can reach the top. In 2009 year 2 groups completely missed the summit because of weather.
Participants in 8 day public groups: 253 people (+67 in comparison with 2008).
Participants who have made an attempt: 251 people.
Participants who have climbed the top: 185 people.
In 2009 we stared to price our tours in Rubles. That means that the price is fixed and constant in Rubles only while in other currencies (USD or Euro) it changes every day according to current exchange rates. The rate is fixed on the day of payment. Here below is the exact price that was in Rubles. To give you an idea of prices in USD and Euro here are also the equivalents in USD and Euro on the date of a tour started.

2011 year season.
The program assumes Elbrus South side route. In 2011 season the South side area was closed for tourists by authorities.
Because the program was public (everyone can join on departure dates) and many different people from different countries with different interests signed up there was no possibility to achieve agreement regarding changing the program to another route (North route was accessible). Also 8 day is insufficient term for North side route which requires more time for approaching and leaving.. That is why all the periods for public groups have been cancelled while many our private (on request) groups were running on the North side during the season.
2012 year season.
We did not offer 8 day program in 2012 year season. That short program is good only for South side. North side requires longer program. There was no certainty if the South area stayed open for all the season and we offered longer programs on the South side which could be easily moved to North sideroute if South side became closed. Season showed that South side was open all tre season and in 2013 we offer 8 day tours again.
2013 year season.
In 2013 season some services from the standard Full package became optional in order to offer more flexibility for our customers. Therefore there initially were Full Package (with all services included) and Minimal Package (with all optional services excluded). Customers could choose a Package initially and include/exclude any optional service if necessary on the spot or in advance. Vast majority of customers finally prefered Full package even if they initially requested the Minimal one.
