Andrew Wexler: Mt Elbrus North Side

July 14, 2011

Mt Elbrus North Side

Church of the Spilled Blood. No joke.

Not much to say here except that tomorrow will be our last day in St. Petersburg. Sigh... The Adventure Consultants Elbrus Team will say goodbye to the Venice of Russia, and take a domestic flight to the Mineralny Vody. From here, we will drive 50 kilometers to the town of Kislovodks. Twenty-four hours later we will be in Base Camp on the North Side of Mt. Elbrus. If you've got some extra time, you can check out the official dispatches on the Adventure Consultants Website located here. Thanks for checking in!

Russian Dolls. So many.

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the Global Alpine Site. On these pages, you will find the numerous personal and guided adventures that I find myself on. I do my best to update content often so keep checking in!

I am an internationally certified ACMG / IFMGA Mountain Guide and have worked in the profession since 1999. Over the years, I have guided and led numerous expeditions in: Alaska, Canada, Ecuador, Argentina, Boliva, Peru, Nepal, Kazakhstan, Russia, France, Italy and Switzerland. Some of my favorite guided ascents include: Ham and Eggs on the Moose's Tooth (Alaska), Peak 11,300 (Alaska), Cabeza de Condoriri (Bolivia), Ama Dablam (Nepal), Alpamayo (Peru), and Antisana (Ecuador).

Since 2005, I have also worked as a freelance writer and photographer with clients that include: Powder, Patagonia, Gripped, Off-Piste, The Ski Journal, MEC, The Canadian Alpine Journal, Backcountry, Black Diamond, High Line and Kootenay Mountain Culture.

I offer small, flexible and customized climbing and skiing adventures across the globe. I believe in low-ratio guiding with the highest attention to detail. During the summer months, I split my time between Europe and North America. In Winter, I heli-ski with CMH and ice climb in the Rockies. Spring and Fall are reserved for ski mountaineering in the Canadian Rockies and for expeditions to Alaska, South America and Asia.

I hope you enjoy perusing this blog and please contact me with any guiding inquiries.

Cheers,

Andrew
