Mountain climbing program "Climbing Mount Erydag and Mount Bazarduzu" with MCS AlexClimb Guides

Program "Mountain climbing in Dagestan, climbing Mount Erydag and Mount Bazarduzu" is available for the reservation at least 60 day prior the trip - special permission needed for entering the border area.

The climbing program we proudly offer to you below includes acclimatization on a very beautiful and special peak of Erydag - climbing this mountain you can get good physical preparation for the subsequent ascent to the top of higher Mount Bazarduzu, as well as to get a lot of the most vivid and unforgettable emotions from visiting the high mountain plateau of Erydag - with waterfalls, snow fields, rivers and sheer walls of the most difficult mountain face in Dagestan. The program begins and ends in the ancient city of Derbent, where in addition to the most interesting historical excursions, you can fully relax on the sandy beach of the Caspian Sea.

The advantage of the program of two ascents to Erydag and Bazarduzu, in the first place, is a very smooth climb schedule, with successive nightspends in the acclimatization camps, the height difference between which is not more than 600-700 meters. Such acclimatization schedule allows you to prepare easily for climbing as high as 4500 meters, even if you do not have any previous experience in the altitude mountain climbing. The altitude gaining schedule corresponds to the so-called "Acclimatization Saw" - a proven method of acclimatization to the altitudes of 7-8000 meters.

In addition, the location of the acclimatization camps allows you to enjoy incredible views of sunrises and sunsets almost over the entire East Caucasus - the program includes overnight stays at altitudes more than 3000 meters.

The program can also be supplemented with the visits to the historical monuments of Dagestan, acquaintance with the local culture and lifestyle of the population of small mountain villages - in case of early completion of the program, spare days can be used for guided tours of the ruins of ancient villages and getting familiar with the very hospitable local people.

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.

AlexClimb Rule #3 - Sober Concious

The position of AlexClimb Mountain and rockclimbing School regarding healthy lifestyle is quite clear - we consider that only sober consciousness is capable to fill sincere emotions,  to sympathize, to enjoy life in all its variety. Bright various enjoyable life is possible only on condition of keeping the absolute sobriety and purity of consciousness. Any way of obscuring our perception of reality is intended to do harm to our consciousness and bring harm to our physical health, to replace the true values by false ones, to destroy us physically - to turn us into flabby, weak, senseless, gray herd with empty hazy eyes. We don't force anybody to our point of view, everyone has a God's gift of making his own choice and to destroy himself if that is what he wants... But in AlexCilimb Mountain Climbing School we accept quite certain and very simple set of rules: neither alcohol, nor drugs.
