AlexClimb Mountain Climbing School presents:
Central Caucasus, Climbing Ushba from the North

"So, you haven't been there yet?? And there is nothing to do there, believe me! I have visited the place three times already, and now I am going there in my fourth time. So I can declare with all assurance, - keep away from this place! But if you really want to check up your Fate - sharpen your crampones, prepare your iceaxe and pray... - may be you will be lucky enough, and something will keep you in the base camp - friends or accidential love, or just heavy hang-over... Or you will follow the kind advice of rescuers and set off to some other place... Otherwise, if you turn out to be unbending and stubborn enough to begin this adventure, and happy enough, to finish it being still alive - then the same thing will happen to you that happened with me. And of what I am trying to warn you so confusedly now - you will get in a slavery, your heart will be stolen, your mind become subjugated - and wherever you make your way, it will lead you here again, to the foot of the most beautiful, most wonderful, most misterious mountain of Caucasus - ... you still don't guess, what about I am speaking? It only means, that you really haven't been there!... "

Other Greatful Photos: Ushba plateau region is very impressive and rather extreme place. It’s very unique place with terrible mountains shape - Ushba, Chatyn, Shkhelda and Schurovskogo peaks. Very interesting for photo and video expeditions (Climbing Mt. Ushba, Snowboarding in Mt. Ushba, Mt. Shkhelda and peak Schurovskogo, View from Mt. Ushba) & http://mountains.tos.ru/cauc_ft.htm
