Alex Abramov from the city of Piatigorsk: Hello! Today, our school team of 8 people made a traverse of Mount Ostraya (Sharp). It was a good climbing ridge route. The ascent took 5 hours, that is, almost the whole day.
Rocks were partially in the snow. It was a good preparation for climbing in the big mountains. We have learned to belay with ropes. The weather was perfect: sunshine and no wind. After descending from the summit we climb for training on the west wall of the famous mountain. Everybody was happy. In the evening, we tried dishes of Caucasian cuisine.
For morning we plan to climb the highest peak of the region - Mount Beshtau (“five mountains” in translation).

Hello everybody ! It says Vladimir Kotlyar from Penitentes. It is practically next to the entrance to the national park - a small ski town, which consists of several hotels. Today we spend the night here. We have already prepared the bags for the mules. Tomorrow morning it will be taken by takes local guides and loaded on mules. We're going after them ...

Good afternoon! It is Ludmila Korobeshko from Pyatigorsk, a resort of Caucasian Mineral Waters. Here the mountain school of the 7 Summits Club conducts classes on climbing and mountaineering. Today is Friday, December 4, it was the first day of this school. We had a great day. Firstly, the weather was perfect, the morning was sunny, even it was good view on the Caucasian Chain and Elbrus. We were the first at “Spartak rocks” on the slopes of Mount Mashuk. A session was leading by our guide Alexander Grebenyuk. Also among climbers there was our president Alexander Abramov. First we warmed up, climb, worked on the movement on fixed ropes, working with Jumar, and rappelling descent.

When we visited the "people's bath" is the hot springs. And in the afternoon, we can say the evening, take a walk, a mini climbing Mount Mashuk.

Trek was very interesting, long, with multi-day tiresome approaches and exits from the area. But feelings remained tremendous, you feel as you get into the heart of the Himalayas, on narrow gorges among mountains surrounding you from all directions which become day by day higher and more severe. Kanchenjunga from Nepal - very hidden mountain, despite the size that is very surprising. It opens only when you come nearer to it closely. "Visyt card" of the area, his face and the center riveting attention pay well-known Jannu (Kumbkhakarna), a topmost pyramid, and then and which crests are visible from the most distant approaches....

Then, from December 2, begins the season on Aconcagua. All December programs have been filled.
But you can join our two groups on January - Aconcagua led by Volodya Kotlyar.

It was a very strange expedition. And all strangles were negative.

Firstly, I would call it inhuman experiments on human beings. But as the people themselves consciously went for it, so the experiment itself is quite humane.

The problem was - to ascend the mountain of the height of more than 5000 meters in three days - it is, in principle, not very sensible idea. Especially it looks questionable, given that participants were no athletes and never climbed any mounytain before. And of course with acclimatization. Just normal office people. Some of them even never seen mountains.

Secondly, I never went to the mountains with plaster.
In general, it is even more doubtful event turned out to be quite feasible. Although the guide with plaster - it looks at least strange….
