New tours of 2021 - horse riding in Elbrus region
Since the ancient times, man has had two faithful friends and helpers, without whom it would have been impossible to conceive or survive in the wild world. Two creatures who, from the very beginning of human history, walked the same path with man, are a horse and a dog. No other living creature in this world is connected with us by such long and unbreakable bonds of friendship and love. Without a horse, it is impossible to imagine any achievement of the past, not a single victory, not a single battle.
And without a dog, a person would be defenseless in the face of his many enemies from both the human world and the wild. The truth of my words is confirmed by the fact of numerous mentions of a horse and a in the scriptures - in the Koran, the Bible and the Torah, as well as the frequent use of images of these animals on the ancient coins, along with images of Caesars and emperors. Stories about the selfless devotion of these animals to man, about self-sacrifice, about the purest and most selfless love, have always inspired artists to work and presented subjects for creating the most poignant works of art.
The world has changed, and we began to forget about our old and faithful friends. The rhythm of life and modern technologies dictate and impose on us completely different tasks, values and speeds, behind which the pleasure of life is lost, dissatisfaction and fatigue accumulate. The inability to enjoy the simple things is the most serious, albeit unobvious problem of modern man.
In the bustle of our world, few people will remember how joyfully, nuzzling, meet the horse his long-awaited owner. Or, like at a watering hole by a mountain river, crystal splashes are scattered from the contented snort of a thirst-quenching horse. Or how endless feather-grass fields float past the saddle, along which the wind drives the waves, as if over the sea.
For those who appreciate moments of silence in this frantic pace of life, these moments are priceless. No engine noise, no pushing, no struggle for every piece of space. Only endless expanses, eternal snows on the horizon broken by mountain ranges and a slight creak of the saddle in time with the measured step of the horse. When it gets dark, a light patch of fire will dance in the dark, and from above there is only an endlessly starry sky, not spoiled by the brilliance of city lights, full of mysterious starry life.
The upper reaches of the Tyzyl River in the Elbrus region is one of the few places where you can still get only on horseback. Nature has preserved here its wildness and inaccessibility, pristine beauty and harsh splendor. Having surrendered, time stopped its course at the foot of Mount Elbrus, where, gradually rising to the eternal snows, the endless gentle grassy hills alternate one after another, blooming in spring, and in autumn - as if plush, burned out under the summer heat.
But not only the purity of nature is preserved by these places. An even more fragile and almost universally lost substance has been preserved here - the simplicity of human relations, naive sincerity, which is the first to disappear during boorish, selfish and predatory treatment. The simplest hospitality, a glass of fresh home made yogurt stretched out by a weary hand of a shepherd, a leisurely conversation in the light of a dim lantern on a remote shepherd shelter - all this directly affects and makes the deep strings of the human soul sound. In this sound there is the greatest value of such travels, far from records and competitions, from a keen feeling "on the brink" and tickling the nerves.

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.

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.
