The most popular climbing programs of MSC AlexClimb in Africa
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro - Tanzania. We have in stock quite a large variety of routes to the Summit of the highest mountain in Africa - Kilimanjaro. Although there is no technically difficult Kilimanjaro routes, but there are different ways to the Summit of nearly six kilometers high that suggest a different intensity of the load, different duration and different factors of relief and specificity of wildlife. Kilimanjaro - the most popular object for climbing in Africa.
Climbing Mount Meru - Tanzania. The volcano, located near the famous Kilimanjaro - like a little lost child in the shadow of its Super Popular neighbor. However, the ascent to the summit of Mount Meru should not be considered ordinary. At least from the fact that there is no more such a place where in all its glory, you can enjoy unforgettable views of Kilimanjaro, beautiful from any angle, but from the top of Meru this kind of very ver special view. In addition, the ascent of Meru makes it possible to get acclimatized, which is so necessary for the ascent to Kilimanjaro - there is no other closer mountain where you can do it.
Climbing Mount Kenya. Basic climbing program, the ascention of the second highest peak in Africa - Kenya, located right on the Equator line. The climbing program of Mount Kenya includes climbing an African fivethousander, as well as getting in touch with the nature of Kenya - safari in one of the national parks of this country. The Summit of Mount Kenya can be reached not only by the easiest route - depending on the climbing skill that can be considered different variants of climbing routes of medium or even high grade of difficulty!
Climbing Mount Jbel Toubkal, Morocco. Toubkal - the highest peak of the mountain range of the Atlas, the heart of the mysterious world of the Berbers. The snow and harsh mountain, not at all in the well knlwn African style, this mountain is shrouded in legends of Thousand and One Night. Not technically difficult, but very peculiar climbing of the highest peak in North Africa. It is impossible to imagine a climbing program of Toubkal without immersion in multicolored human maelstrom in which all eastern cultures mingled. Marrakech, Zagora, Ouarzazate, Sahara, Bedouin caravans, oases and ancient covered with sand Arab fortress - to understand clearly the meaning of these words - it is necessary to see it with your own eyes.
Mountaineering in Africa.
Climbing programs offered to your attention in the Africa section of our Mountain climbing School are very different from the climbing programs that we organize for exemple in the Caucasus or in the Andes. In itself, the phenomenon of mountaineering in Africa - that is something quite independent and stand apart from the sport, technical and high-altitude mountaineering in its classic, familiar to us form.
Climbing in Africa - is primarily very exotic kind of activity associated with an extraordinary variety of natural and social factors, which somehow have to deal with the organization of climbing programs in Africa. Yes, mountains of Africa can not be put in par with traditional views of the mountains and mountaineering. Each mountain in Africa has a strong personality, color and weight of the features inherent in this and no to no other mountain. For example - Kilimanjaro - this giant sloping cone with a white glacier cap on top - that silhouette can not be confused with anything else - it is inextricably linked with the general way of Africa.
Or Mount Toubkal in Morocco - the highest mountain in the Atlas mountain range - that mountain is shrouded in legends and stories, as if descended from the pages of one of the tales of Shaherizada. In that way it is possible to describe every African mountain, they are few and therefore none of them does not lose its individuality. In addition, any climbing program in Africa - is not just climbing a mountain. It's an adventure, woven of many bright, dissimilar experiences. Climbing in Africa - that is a magical kaleidoscope, in which are muxed the most unexpected combinations of climbing difficulty, unusual intimacy and power of wildlife, flavor of ancient cultures and the pulse of modern life rhythm.
We will be glad to see you in our climbing team in Africa!

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.
