Extreme & Adventure

Climbing of Kazbek (Mkinvartsvery) / 8-9 days

Physically, it is easier, than climbing of Elbrus. There is only one place on the rout which can be difficult (ice couluar under the Summit), but in  the total the classical rout to the summit of Kazbek is quite easy. As Elbrus, Kazbek is also volcano, that is well appreciable from its characteristic conic form. From former meteo station which is nowadays a climbing shelter,  the rout to the top is made in one day. Conditions are extremely benevolent. There are some organizational problems connected with getting of the Georgian visa, but it is only technical problem. The program consists of 10 days including acclimatization. Two variants of getting into the area - from Vladicavkas and from Tbilisi. Tbilisi variant of the program is considerably enriched by excursions, but is more expensive.

Period: May - September
Standard Duration: 8 days
