Elbrus is the highest mountain in Europe, located in the beautiful Caucasus Mountains. Jagged Globe climbed Elbrus every summer between 1992 and 1999. Unfortunately, due to the threat from Chechen extremists, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office have advised against travel to the Elbrus region for the past eight years. Jagged Globe has suspended its expeditions and will continue to do so until the advice changes. Any expeditions to the mountain will be announced via our Jagged Globe News email.
