We are often asked about the average budget a novice climber would need to buy all the gear and clothing they need to successfully climb. It is not easy to give an unequivocal answer to this question, since the budget depends on many factors, from the correct choice to specific goals. For example, if you completely trust a sales assistant and buy everything in one store, then the amount will come out very rather big. But if you enlist the recommendations of experienced climbers and take care of the issue of acquiring equipment in advance, then the budget will also remain for a good gift for the family.

In this article, we decided to describe one of the most inexpensive, but at the same time repeatedly tested sets of equipment and clothing for climbing Elbrus as part of a group in the summer.
If you are too lazy to read the entire article, then scroll down and see the final count.

Why Elbrus? Because this peak is the most popular among novice climbers, but in the set of equipment and clothing described below, you can go, of course, not only to Elbrus.

Why in a group? In this article, we will not describe public tourist and mountaineering equipment: ropes, tents, burners, pots, radio stations, gps-navigators, etc. It is understood that the group will have all this equipment (when hiking with tourist clubs, including ours, public equipment is included in the cost of participating in the campaign).

Why in the summer? Clothes and equipment for climbing Elbrus in winter are very different from clothing and equipment for summer climbing (from May to September inclusive). This is due to the much harsher conditions on the mountain. We strongly do not recommend starting your acquaintance with mountaineering with winter ascents of five-thousanders.

So where do you start?

First, let's ask ourselves a few questions:
Is this my first hike in the mountains? Am I sure that I will continue to practice mountaineering?

The questions are important, because renting a piece of equipment and clothing will, by definition, be cheaper than buying. Usually, for the first ascent, we recommend renting all climbing equipment (harness, crampons, helmet, ice ax, carabiner) and climbing boots, as well as a down jacket (down jacket), a backpack and a sleeping bag (for autonomous routes). Everything else can be bought relatively inexpensively, as well as used in other cases (not only in the mountains) - for skiing, hiking and walking. So, even if you no longer go mountaineering, your investment in such equipment and clothing will not be wasted.

Therefore, we will start with a universal set of clothing, and then separately consider the cost of renting and buying climbing equipment, puffs and warm mittens, a backpack and a sleeping bag.

Renting or buying climbing boots:

You will find detailed information on the choice of boots for climbing Elbrus in.
And here we will compare the prices for the purchase and rent of the main models of climbing boots used for climbing Elbrus in the summer.

1. Double-layer plastic boots Koflach Arctic Expe. Ideal for climbing in May (as well as similar models Scarpa Vega, Asolo AFS 8000, etc.). The cost of purchasing such boots: 23,000 RUBRental price for 14 days in a Moscow car rental with discounts from our club: 2 500 RUBThe cost of renting a car in the Elbrus region for 10 days, taking into account a discount from our club: 3 900 RUB

2. Single layer leather boots (Asolo Aconcagua, Scarpa Ortles and others like them). Ideal for routes to Elbrus with long autonomous approaches. The cost of purchasing such boots: from 16 000 rub.The cost of renting a car in the Elbrus region for 10 days, taking into account a discount from our club: 3,500 RUB

As you can see, it will be much cheaper to rent shoes.

Rent or purchase of puffs and mittens:

1. Climbing puffs (Bask Khan Tengri, Bask Ertzog, Red Fox Extreme and others like them). Purchase cost: from 15,000 rub. The cost of renting a car in the Elbrus region for 10 days, taking into account a discount from our club: 3,500 RUB

2. Urban down jackets. Some models of urban down jackets can be suitable for climbing Elbrus in the summer. If you think that you have just such a down jacket - send us a photo of it by mail and we will tell you our opinion.

3. Insulated mittens. An example of good and not too expensive gloves: Creative Mitten V3. These are not the cheapest mittens (they can be found cheaper in Decathlon or Sportmaster), but the arms (like the legs) are the weakest point on the ascent (they freeze the fastest). Therefore, you need to save money on this point with caution. Purchase cost: 2870 p. (including a 20% discount from our club). The cost of renting down mittens for 14 days in a Moscow box office, taking into account a discount from our club: 800 RUBThe cost of renting a car in the Elbrus region for 10 days, taking into account a discount from our club: 800 RUB

Renting or buying mountain goggles:

In our opinion, it is better to have your own glasses. One of the cheapest options is to buy glasses in Decathlon. Please note that the lens has a shade level of at least 4. The cost of such glasses: 1600 p.Glasses are often scratched at the rental, and the rental deposit often exceeds the cost of new glasses from Decathlon.

Rent or purchase of a backpack and sleeping bag:

1.Backpack. Classic and proven model: Deuter Patagonia 90 + 15. Purchase cost: 11,000 RUB Rental price for 14 days in a Moscow car rental with discounts from our club: 1800 RUB The cost of renting a car in the Elbrus region for 10 days, taking into account a discount from our club: 1700 RUB

2. A sleeping bag with a comfort temperature not higher than -5. One of the most inexpensive yet good sleeping bags: Rock Empire Blizzard. Cost: 5500 RUBRental price for 14 days in a Moscow car rental with discounts from our club: 2500 R. The cost of renting a car in the Elbrus region for 10 days, taking into account a discount from our club: 3000 RUB

Final count:

Buying a universal set of clothes: 10 150 RUB

Rent a complete set of climbing equipment in our rental: 3,200 RUB

Rent of climbing boots and mittens: 3,500 RUB + 800 p.

Rent of a backpack and sleeping bag (for autonomous hikes): 1 800 RUB + 2 500 p.

Purchase of climbing goggles: 1 600 RUB

Total total amount: 23 550 RUBThe total amount for rental for an autonomous hike: 11 800 RUR ... For hiking without a backpack and sleeping bag: 7 500 RUB

The amount for the rental is calculated "to the maximum" - that is, for the entire trip. In practice, if we go down the mountain faster and return the equipment earlier, then the money for the unused days will be returned to us.

How else can this amount be reduced?

1. Rummage in the closet. Surely you already have a hat, thin gloves, woolen socks, and maybe a membrane jacket, an urban down jacket or pants with insulation.
2. Ask your friends. If your friends go to the mountains, then they probably have a lot of the above list and maybe they can lend you something.
3. Climb on Avito, on the "albarakholka" and other similar groups in contact. In the case of climbing clothing, buying used clothing is a normal practice.

The success of climbing Elbrus largely depends on the right equipment. Before the trip, you should call your friends and acquaintances who are fond of tourism and borrow equipment for the duration of the trip, if they do not have their own. Some clothing and climbing equipment can be bought, but the price of quality items is usually high, and they are needed only for a few days. If you do not go in for mountaineering or tourism and go on a tour to take a break from the bustle of the city, renting the necessary equipment will be a justified decision.

Hire, rent of tourist clothes, shoes, mountaineering and tourist equipment in the village of Elbrus. All the necessary equipment for climbing Elbrus and trekking in the mountains is available in our rental on Elbrus and at the rental points of our partners.
