Season 2021
MCS AlexClimb hiking and climbing season 2021
The season 2021 starts with an "if" sign. It is encouraging that if we survived the surprises of 2020 and even coped with some set of the mountain climbing programs - why next season would not be more interesting ?!
All our programs listed below have one important feature - this is our attempt to show you the mountains without crowds and market bustle. These programs are developed independently from a "blank slate" and are carried out by the people who invented them. This season I deliberately do not offer to you the participation in popular commercial programs. In this way I try to save you from spoiled impressions, and the mountains from being falsified and turning into a cheap commercial tourist attraction.
April 18-26. (preliminary planning) Welcome to the sunny cliffs of Georgia - the most beautiful rockclimbing sectors, varied routes, relaxed and friendly atmosphere! A bonus - fantastic 4x4 drive to the world of mountain spring!
April 28 - May 10 - If Peru is open - Cordelier Vaivash + summit ascent! An easy hike in the most beautiful mountains in the world and a fantastic ascent to the mountain summit in the heart of the Cordeliera Huayhuash is an absolute exclusive!
Arrivals May 14 and 21 - NEW SEASON! Horseback riding tours in the Eastern Elbrus region are a completely exclusive, new programs opening to you the unique places that can be visited only on horseback. Note that the timing of these programs coincides with the peak flowering of the alpine meadows - it's just fantastic! A group size is limited by 5 participants + 2 instructors.
June 1-11, 12-22, June 22-31 Dagestan. Climbing Bazarduzu, Shahbuzag and Erydag. Iconic peaks of the Eastern Caucasus, on the border with Azerbaijan. It is in June, while these peaks are still covered with snow, climbing them is especially beautiful... Technically, the programs are not difficult, they are available for participants without prior experience. Groups of no more than 6 participants. Exclusive.
July 5 - 17 There will be only one group for the Adyl su Mountaineering School - a classic set of two simple ascents, with an extension to the grade 4 route to the Peak of the Mongolian People's Republic.
July 24 - August 5, August 6-15 Kamchatka! If Klyuchevskaya finishes to erupt, then we are climbing it and neighboring Krestovsky volcano. If the eruption of Klyuchevskaya makes the ascent impossible, then we will do ascent to Krestovsky and then hike to the lava. Exclusive and incredibly cool climbing program. Not for lazy people - this is a full-fledged expedition.
September 4-17, 17-25. Bezengi. Dykh Tau, classic, Northern Ridge - we changed the route taking into account the experience of the last season. There will be two attempts this season, because we will not stop there for a long time. This year we will work with porters on the Dykh Tau route - equipment and food will be delivered into camp 3700.
September 29 - October 10, October 10-17 (preliminary planning) Svaneti. Ushba, classic, Northern ridge, Classic. The participation of the porters is possible.
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.
