Sofya Shamuzova becomes the only woman to summit Mount Elbrus

In extreme conditions with powerful winds and sub-zero temperatures, Sofya was the only climber out of six who attempted the ascent on May 15 to reach the summit. Her determination and resilience shine not only as a personal victory but as a tribute to the unstoppable spirit of the United Arab Emirates.

“This summit is dedicated to the people of the UAE — a nation where no goal is too big, and no obstacle too strong,” said Sofya. “As a businesswoman, a mother, and a dreamer, I believe limits exist only in the mind.”

Following her successful climb of Mount Kilimanjaro on September 2, 2024, Elbrus marks the second peak in her Seven Summits journey. She continues forward with her heart, discipline, and the UAE flag in hand, preparing for the next summits with intensive physical and emotional training.
