   Sometimes people decide to turn back on the summit day because of altitude sickness or for other reasons.

We consider guide-to-client ratio 1 guide per every 3-4 clients to be preferable on Elbrus. This quantity of guides allows to accompany safely those participants who has decided to go down and to spare chances for the others to reach the summit.
