The program Trekking "Kamchatka Autumn" in the Kluchevskaya volcano region - it is one of the very few programs developed by MCS AlexClimb in which the participation of the children is possible (from 14 years old with parents).
As the season I think that autumn is the most beautiful time of year, but if we talk about Kamchatka - it is not just that beautiful. Autumn in Kamchatka it is absolutely wonderful unique and magic time. The nature of Kamchatka is preparing itself for the long winter sleep and for that last enterprise it wears the best dress, smiling and getting quite after all the summer bustle. Particularly this time of year in Kamchatka, when the summer heat is gone together with inevitable humming of mosquitos, but the chilling cold is not yet come and freeze all around, we picked this incredibly beautiful and comfortable time to let you enjoy the beauty and unique atmosphere of the most wild and remote region of Russia. Our autumn program in Kamchatka is not connected with any ambitious climbs - no difficult ant hard goals are put to the participants - our only goal - plunge deep into the world of virgin nature of Kamchatka in the finest season - Kamchatka autumn.
But this trekking program in Kamchatka does not mean the relaxed pastime! Just the opposite! Although we put off all the technical obstacles in that program because of the specifics of the autumn season in Kamchatka, it is complete set of the wild mountain adventures waiting our guest in the land of Ice and Fire! And these adventures will demand from everybody real forcing their mental and physical potentials - from the first day of the program, every other day will be full of challenges in the fight for the most incredible impressions and unforgettable emotions!
The trekking program "Autumn in Kamchatka" which is developed by MCS AlexClimb - it is an easy variation of the Kluchevskaya Sopka climbing program, the route is nearly the same except that we will not go to the summit but pass it counterclockwise as to make all the route more convenient for the non-climbing people. The route is adapted to the trekking category. But it is not at all any kind of country walk, don't even think of it! You will have to carry your backpack of 15-20 kg, sleep in the tents high in the mountains already covered with new snow and if everything goes well - we will reach the altitude 4300m - the highest point of our route.

"Kamchatka Autumn" Trekking route of is not very hard physically, does not require to overcome any technically difficult parts nor long-term stay at high altitude conditions. Regardless your climbing or trekking experience, we recommend passing the MCS AlexClimb course of general physical preparation and course of Mountain Technique (basic level) before participating in this program.

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.
