Hi,
I'm going to Elbrus in 2 weeks and plan to climb it unguided I understand there are fixed ropes near the summit, is this true? But was thinking of buying a GPS just in the case the weather turns bad or cloud/fog move in. Can anyone recommend a good TOPO for the Elbrus region. I was looking at the Garmin gpsmap 64s but I cannot find a TOPO map for Elbrus for the device (I live in Czech Republic so the one on sale here comes with Europe recreational and TOPO for CZ only). Can anyone suggest if there is a decent map for it for use on Elbrus?
I will climb the South route, hopefully it will not be too busy this time of year I believe that July to September are the busiest. If anyone has any other advice for doing this climb unguided it would be good to hear
Thanks!
Tony
