    Tallest mountain in Iran is called Mt Alburz and tallest mountain in Russia is Elbrus. There is a linguistic link between the two. Love your videos.

She has actually obtained success extremely quick, I can not be a little jealous of her, though the quality of her videos are much above mine as well as above a lot of youtuber's. I have actually been blogging in Russia for over 4 years but the youtube algorithm has actually not been as kind to me as it has actually been to her. I can see that you are interested about Russia. Can I ask you, to critique my channel and explain what is required and how I can create better videos?

Your determination to reach the summit of Mt. Elbrus is a manifestation of how strong willed person you are.

Your English was fine even when you were under the stress of climbing.(I was a climber also and our guide would say "Stop talking and just concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other, and breathing in rhythm with your steps!" He didn't have to tell us twice.) Thanks for this !

I don't know whether they went up the North or the South routes so I will ask them when I next see them (we often going camping together).

    My architecture friend, Buz Donahoo (r.i.p.), leader of world climbing and hiking tours via Condor Adventures), would so enjoy this video. I remember all the pre-departure get togethers at my place where all the tourers would come and weigh their packs on my beam scale. If your bag weighed too much he'd make you pare it down. Yes, he'd enjoy this video had he not passed away a while back over in San Torrini after a lifetime of expeditions. To see Eli, with no experience in climbing toting 75 pounds up Elbrus speaks to the grit of her spirit. You be safe over there and get back to 'home base' intact charged up for the next trek.

I fear now I may have waited too long, but I am hopeful someday we will be able to freely travel again.

My parents love to go hiking, when I go for a walk I feel that I should be doing something, I'm just alone, walking in the forest and thinking to myself, what am I doing here? Yet another fantastic video from Eli. Blogging has come so easily to her. She has gotten success extremely quickly, I can't but not be a bit jealous of her, though the top quality of her videos are far above mine and better than most youtuber's. I have been blogging in Russia for over 4 years and the youtube algorithm has actually not been as kind to me as it has been to her. I can see that you are interested about Russia. Can I ask you, to critique my channel and say what is needed and how I can improve?

    Hi Eli! It was a tiring experience, however, beautiful and unique.
    Mount Elbrus is imposing and fascinating like any mountain and I think it is worth climbing or at least visiting.
    Your experience is definitely informative for us others who see your videos at least have an idea of ​​what you're going to get if you decide to climb a mountain.
