[edit] Not in Europe
The Elbrus vs Blanc in an old chestnut of a debate, but irrespective of historical conventions most sources show The Caucasous mountains are by general agreement now wholly assigned to Asia Dainamo 11:04, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- What sources and which general agreement, please? 141.83.15.154 13:11, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Meaning of the name
The German Wikipedia states that Elbrus comes from a Georgian word meaning "conic peak". Here it is written "twin peaks". Which is right? Or both are points of view? R.Del Re 01 Nov 2005
[edit] Geological Process
I am moving the last paragraph "The Caucasus Mountains are the result...." becuase it would fit better in the article for the Caucasus_Mountains, that is lacking in geological information. ChristopherM 18 Nov 2005 locals dont call the mountain mt elbrus, but Mingi Tav which translated from karachay malkar to english means thousand mountains since its so large.
[edit] About first ascend of the lowest peak
All russian sources say, that East peak was ascended by Kilar Hashirov, a member of russian military expedition in 1829.
