Crimea 2020

It was a super day in Yalta. Today the temperature here is +18. I had a great climb with Leonid Kozlov in Simeiz. And before that, in the morning there was a morning exercise, which ended with a swim in the sea!!!!

Great day. Welcome to the Crimea!!! The Mountain school of the 7 Summits Club is waiting for you!

Photos and videos from the first climb of the new multi-pitch route on Mshatka-Kaya! With the participation of the President of the 7 Summits Club Alex Abramov! Amazing route, great company! Sasha Marinkevich and Sergey Popovich were in the lead. Challenging vertical climb, it looks like there will be category 6b of free climbing!

The adventures of Natalia Tuzova continue, yesterday it was AI-Petri! The summit was reached in the dark! Step by step, under the dim light of the flashlight, we came to the edge of the plateau, steep talus slopes, foot crawling down, every second step idling. Cold dog, not a soul, but under the feet of clouds, among which  - the famous "AI-Petrinsky teeth",  symbol of the Crimea. What a reward!

The 7 Summits Club guide Boris Yegorov:

Greetings from Crimea! Today we climbed one of the most beautiful rock routes in the Crimea on the most difficult steep face of Morcheka. It was a diverse, interesting climbing with gorgeous views of the Black sea.

Crimea Mountain school of the 7 Summits Club presents the longest multi-pitch route on the rocks of Crimea! This STK line consists of 37 pitches on the famous mountain climbing face of Mount AI-Petri! Olya and Anya heroically climbed to the top, climbing was up to 6b category of difficulty. It took 12 hours of work on the technical rock wall! Can you do that? Come to our Mountain school in Crimea!

New day of adventures in the Mountain School of the 7 Summits Club in Crimea

Adventures continue in the Mountain school the 7 Summits Club in Crimea! Wake surfing is a mind-blowing entertainment on the most beautiful beaches of Fiolent! In Crimea,  there was the second day of the Mountain School of the 7 Summits Club for our Beauties group! We visited Mount Ilyas-Kaya and the via ferrata route! The members climbed several multi-pitches routes, all  climbers showed themselves "in battle" from the best sides! And at the end of the program - Balaclava and water entertainment!

Natalia Kartashova, head of the Crimean programs of the 7 Summits Club:

 Greetings from Crimea! The most beautiful team in the history of the Mountain school conquers the Crimean peaks! 12 beauties and 2 machos have already climbed Ilyas-Kaya. The team of seven guides of the Mountain school of the 7 Summits Club  trains guests to the basics of technical mountaineering!

* The team started training in Crimea from the rocks of the Koshka massif in Simeiz.

A member of many of our expeditions Vadim Frolov and his son Seryozha came to the Crimea once again! And again he went to his favorite route - Via ferrata to Ilyas-Kaya! It is a long, difficult and very beautiful route. A well-known Russian journalist and participant in many events of the 7 Summits Club (including Everest expeditions) Marina Gevorgyan trained on the rocks of Krestovaya and Koshka. And then she also went to the region of Foros for the now famous Via ferrata route.

Natalia Kartashova, head of the Crimean programs of the 7 Summits Club:

Tatyana Nasyrova completes the Crimean program by climbing one of the most beautiful peaks of the Southern shore - Shaan-Kaya. It was Lucy route, dedicated to the Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko.

Natasha Kartashova, the head of the Crimean programs of the 7 Summits Club:

A new guest in the Crimea! Tanyusha Nasyrova in new rock shoes "La Sportiva" conquers the mountain Koshka (Cat)! Excellent easy climbing over the most beautiful bays of Simeiz! There are many new and challenging routes ahead of her!

Natalia Marinkevich, head of Crimean programs of the 7 Summits Club:

Cute girls Anya and Olya storm Crimean peaks! Knots, belay technic, fix roping and many more interesting things are waiting for our guests in the Crimean Mountain school of the 7 Summits Club!

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club:

We are in the Crimea. We not only climb rocks and walk on mountains. We also became volunteers of the Yalta nature reserve. We were cleaning up garbage around the Nikita Rocks. It was fun! We collected 13 bags of garbage!

The Grand Canyon of Crimea is a beautiful natural site, a fracture of the earth's crust. It impresses with its dizzy steep walls, blue bathtubs for swimming with ice water!

 The depth of the canyon exceeds 300 m, the length is 3.5 km, the width in some places does not exceed 3 meters. Hiking in the canyon takes a whole day and remains forever in the memory of the traveler.

Alexander Abramov visits places of "his military glory" in the Crimea! Mount Morcheka is the most difficult climbing face of the Crimea! 30 years ago, Alex climbed the face very quickly, in 3.5 hours. It was at mountaineering competitions and his partner was Valery Rozov!

And here is the camping place of experienced climbers near Morcheka! Alex Abramov reads reports on climbing in a local  book.

A little more time and we will decide to climb on the face of Morcheka ourselves!

Natalya Kartashova, head of Crimean programs of the 7 Summits Club:

Greetings from sunny Crimea! Our guest Katya Gagarinskaya heroically climbed to the summit of Ilyas-kaya! Via Ferrata is a great way to get to know the heights and enjoy the beauty of the Southern coast of Crimea!
