Pavel Gostinsky from Poland and Ali-Atabi Sirelli from Iran went missing on Mt. Elbrus on March 15. They were not officially registered, so their route is unclear for rescuers. They have not been found yet, ITAR-TASS reports.
All shelters at the Cliffs of Pastukhov have been checked at a height of 4.8km. A shelter built between two peaks during summer is yet to be checked.
Severe weather complicated searches, the Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry for Emergencies in Kabardino-Balkaria says.
