Mount Ushba climbing programs here
This funny sketch was written after one of my Mount Ushba climbs more than 20 years ago. Then the border between Russia and Georgia was what it should be - a formal line between friendly countries. Where no one put up obstacles so that everybody can climb the mountain peaks, enjoy the life and fool around the way he wants.

Mount Ushba plateau, Ushba pillow and the top of North Ushba, 2003
This summer (2003), in the most remote corner of the Central Caucasus, took place the grand opening of the highest mountain nudist beach in the world. This event was not noticed by the media, the major TV companies did not send their representatives there, the local authorities did not deploy riot police to ensure security.
Look, Elbrus!! And envy
Perhaps that is why the event was not overshadowed by incidents, acts of terror and cries of fighters for public peace and morality. In short, everything went very peacefully, imperceptibly and calmly.

The main feature and advantage of our beach is the abundance of opportunities for sunbathing and exciting recreations.
Here you can get a classic golden tan, or a spicy pink or cream tan, as well as all the shades of chocolate tan. It is even possible, without much difficulty, to achieve the formation of a tan with a crispy crust, but this is for a very sophisticated amateurs.
Sunbathing on the Ushba plateau after climbing to the top of Ushba
Of the shortcomings, we noticed only the lack of cabanas for changing clothes and interruptions in the helicopter pizza delivery. But these unpleasant impressions were fully compensated by the excellent quality of the nice (ice) service, individual approach, excellent arrangement and an abundance of additional entertainment.
Passing the upper (highly crevassed) part of the Ushba icefall. Clinging to the rocks of Shchurovsky Peak
The set of entertainment includes Caucasian slides, a casino and Russian roulette (works regularly 24/7), iceclimbing, mountain skiing, flights in a dream and in reality (if you fall into crevass), mulattos with martini trays (so far, this option is also available only in a dream, but we are working on a solution to the problem).

In addition, here is the highest level of political and terrorist security, the absolute absence of television broadcasting, propaganda and idly staggering public, consistently good weather.
Dress code for access to the Ushba high-mountain nudist beach
Summing up, I can say that the opening of the high-altitude Ushba nudist beach has become a truly global event, opening a new page in the history of sunbathing and mountaineering as an exquisite form of leisure.
Due to the limited number of places and high seasonal demand, in order to visit the high mountain Ushba nudist beach, you need to leave a preliminary application on the website of owners and organizers - www.alexclimb.com
On the mount Ushba North ridge
I can guarantee to you the availability of free sun loungers made of sun and mulattos (optional) only in case of timely pre-ordering!
All the Mount Ushba climb in the 2000 - 2005 seasons were developed and carried out by the AlexClimb Mountaineering and Rock Climbing School.

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.
