Guided climb in Australia - Mount Kosciuszko - classic trekking program of MCS AlexClimb.

Specifics of mountaineering in Australia - lack of mountains! The highest point of the continent - Mount Kosciusko, has nothing in common with severe tops of mountains which we got used to call "peaks"... Mount Kosciusko top is a small hill, nothing allocated against people around of its flat, overgrown a grass hills. However Kosciusko's Peak is, nevertheless, the highest point of the whole continent, and so, an integral part of the well-known project "Seven Summits" - a series of climbing the highest mountains of all seven continents. Ascension on Kosciusko's Peak in Australia is a good walk in rather beautiful and pure place, a one-day campaign 18-25 km long, depending on the chosen route. Ascension in itself on Kosciusko's Peak doesn't represent any sports interest, but perfectly supplements the program of travel for Australia.
