The route of ascent to Mount Elbrus from the north is climbing along the path of the first conquerors. In 1829, the first expedition to Mount Elbrus took place, led by General of the Russian army, GA Emanuel. On the approaches to the Caucasus, Emanuel met the leaders of the Karachays and Balkars i.e. princes Islam Krimshaukhalov and Myrzakulov Urusbiev, who gave five strongest mountaineer-hunters as guides. History has preserved the names of only two of them: Killar Khashirov and Ahiya Sottaev.
