This section contains articles which were written as a result of solving problems and issues that arise when working with the climbing programs in the mountains, on the rocks and ice. In order to avoid repeating other people's mistakes and get the most positive emotions from participating in any alpine climbing or rockclimbing trip, you should carefully read our answers to the questions that the participants of these programs have already asked.
During the existence of the MCS AlexClimb School, more than 200 unique mountaineering, rockclimbing and iceclimbing programs were created, invented, developed and conducted. Each trip was unique in its own way, full of the new emotions and achievements. Not always everything went smooth - after all, this format of activity has a lot of nuances, difficulties and risks.
Nevertheless, all the programs in our collection are certainly interesting, although not always easy or simple adventures. Each of these adventures, whether it's climbing the sky-high peaks, training on sunny rocky verticals or the crystal ice of frozen waterfalls, has its own specific characteristics.
Understanding these features allows participants to be better prepared for the difficulties that await them.
Each program is a great personal experience not only for the participants, but also for the organizers and guides. Many of the popular programs were carried out many times, which made it possible to gain invaluable experience in working with people, understanding the features of the specific locations. Based on this experience, a collection of materials has been created to help people better understand the nature of the difficulties that await them and also how to avoid annoying mistakes.

Our Principles
AlexClimb Rule #1 - Safety First
From the very beginning of our activity, here nearly 16 years, the first Principle of work of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb is the Safety Priority. On the basis of this Principle all process of training is based, all programs and rounds are developed and carried out only within this main principle. We consider that at professional approach to development of programs, at personal discipline and correctly put motivation - occupations by mountaineering and rock-climbing are COMPLETELY safe. And from the return - all troubles and accidents in our sport come from nonprofessionalism, from ignorance or neglect by elementary standards of safety, from irrational motivation, from revaluation of own forces and opportunities. All these prerequisites we COMPLETELY EXCLUDE in our work - ours Rock-climbing, Ice climbing and Mountaineering are based on one Principle - the Safety Priority. In rock-climbing, mountaineering and ice climbing, the Priority of Safety of MCS AlexClimb-is your personal security and comfort irrespective of, than we are engaged - we train muscles and we work technology of the movement in the sports hall and on the rock climbing wall, we make the way through snowstorm to top or we relax on golden sand of the Caribbean beach after hot day of trainings on rocks. The Safety priority - the main credo of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb.
AlexClimb Rule #2 - Leave No Trace
Closely interacting with Nature, working with the active programs in mountains, woods, lakes and rivers, we perfectly understand the importance of carefull and respectfull bahavior towards the Nature, for its resources. From the very beginning of our outdoor-activity we adopted rules of Leave No Trace technique - the standard of behavior of the person accepted in all the civilized world in relation to environment and especially - to the wild nature. After all on the relation of people to the nature near which they exist, itself can draw dalekoidushchy conclusions on the relation of these people to... Where and as we didn't travel - we don't reserve any garbage, we try to reduce whenever possible our influence on environment to a minimum. We clear earlier zagryazyonny tourist parking of the left garbage, we take out and we take out to utilization places that to us other people left there. We consider that only thus, at personal individual consciousness of each citizen, each tourist, climber or autotraveller, we will be able to keep the nature surrounding us in its state, natural, suitable for life, - in it pledge of the healthy future for ourselves and our children.
