Watch the final version of the film about V international Elbrus Race held on 09.09.2009.
We will be very grateful for feedback about the film - it is a bit strange, and may even seem that it is not exactly about the Race ..But on the other hand, after You watch it - You can better understand why  we do that event at all... Are You agree??

The english translation (subtiteles?) are coming, but we have a big headache as YouTube do not accept the music(? we changed the one 2 times!!! but in vain..) and Vimea.com do not know how to put subtitels in... We'll be happy to get any advices how to deal with that obstacle!!
