What is combined program?
What is combined program of MCS AlexClimb?
MCS AlexClimb combined programs. I hope you already understood that the main theme of our programs is mountaineering, and everything related to it. This topic is rather narrow and professional - in fact, it is climbing mountain peaks, gymnastic training in the form of rockclimbing and iceclimbing. Outside of our sphere, there are (with few exceptions) trekking and mountain hiking, river rafting, etc. The fact is that in themselves these are rather narrow professional high-quality activities in which specific and extensive experience is required. So, for example, if you want to climb the summit of Belukha in Altai, we will be happy to arrange a safe and successful climb for you. But if after climbing you want to go rafting on the Katun River, other specialists targeted on the organizing rafting tours will be engaged in this.
However, there is a number of programs where we could not deny ourselves the pleasure of combining business with pleasure - in our case, climbing with other related activities. The main topic - the "core" of the program, is still our narrow professional focus - climbing the summit, rocks and cliffs, ice massif of a frozen waterfall. But in order to get to the object of climbing, you often need to overcome other, not less interesting obstacles that make the program much more diverse and go beyond mountaineering and climbing. As an example, we can cite our combined program in Uyuni, Bolivia - there are combined, within the framework of one trip, an interesting off road tour along the famous salt lake and several acclimatization climbs to the mountain peaks. Or, climbing the volcanoes of the Kuril Islands - in order to get into the area of climbing, you need to overcome almost 800 kilometers of the harsh expanse of the Pacific Ocean, which in itself is a very interesting and exciting adventure. Or the combination of the climbs “Great Caucasian Way” - Elbrus-Kazbek-Ararat-Demavent - to combine these ascents within the framework of one program, you need to take an extremely interesting and unusual journey on the off-road vehicles through all the Caucasus from North to extreme South.
Programs in our collection, that combine several activities belong to the category of combined programs. In them we do not depart from the main theme of our activity, but we diversify it with additional modules, to one degree or another inseparable from the mountain program itself.

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.
