Climbing Belukha from the south
From 174 000₽ per person
Description
Type: Multi-day activity
* Climbing East Belukha from the South is currently (due to the situation with the border) the only legal and uncomplicated option for climbing to the highest point in Siberia.
We take the cargo and participants by helicopter to the source of the Katun River. Here we set up a base camp where part of the cargo remains.
For a successful ascent, we go with the installation of two camps:
- camp 1 on the Blue Balcony - 3000 m.
- assault camp 2 on the Central Plateau of Belukha - 4000 m.
This location of the camps allows people with different physical fitness to climb to the top, as the climb from the assault camp is only 500 meters.
After climbing, we return to the base camp, rest, wait for the helicopter and fly to Tungur, from where we leave for Barnaul.
You will find:
- climbing to the highest point of Siberia
- beautiful views from the height of 4506 across the whole Altai
- the taste of victory from a perfect ascent
- a surge of adrenaline from working at height
- Raspypnoy Waterfall
- lack of people on the route
- rest from communications and the Internet
- evening bonfires by the river
- mountaineering
