Caucasus, Russia.
Climbing Peak Semenovskogo, Bezengi (1b Russian grade). Season: June - August (Best time - July-September)

Information intended for evaluation purposes only. In order to avoid surprises and possible dangers and complications, we recommend to take part in the organized program of the MCS AlexClimb "Caucasus Russia, Classics of Bezengi" - by well known route, accompanied by experienced guides. This will significantly increase the probability of success and safety of your climbing in Bezengi region.

This route is recommended as a training and acclimatization climb, there is no technical difficulties on this route. Approach to this route requires getting the border pass.
The route starts from the camp Bezengi. After crossing the moraine, go down into the clearing beneath the glacier (where you probably will be stopped to check documents). Along the lower path move towards the glacier. The trail goes on the left side of the glacier (the direction of moving) along mud piles. About an hour later the path (marked by cairns) turns sharply to the right to get the body of the glacier (N 43⁰05.701 'E 043⁰07.226'). Go up along the glacier 2.5 - 3 hours until you see on your traverse a large yellow stain on the left moraine (N 43⁰03.186 'E 043⁰04.039'). Here you must turn to the left, to get around the crevasses and get on the path going to the waterfall. The trail goes over the waterfall and then serpentine uphill to the left. Overnight site is located directly behind the hill (N 43⁰02.695 'E 043⁰04.639'). Alternative of spending the night  - quite good spot a little further, at the base of a wide scree couluar (first couloir to the left), about half-way to the Jungi Kosh hut - it is about 30 minutes more walking uphill the trail toward Jangi Kosh (N 43⁰02.225 'E 043⁰05.738'). Quality of camping - the same, there is water here and there.
From the camp it is better to start early, 30-40 minutes before dawn. Climb up the couloir to the side of his neck, by moderate scree slope. Passing the neck of couloir (N 43⁰02.474 'E 043⁰06.165'), turn left and continue climbing the moderate scree slope towards the southern ridge of the peak Semenovski. Climbing is more convenient on the left branch of the main trail, where scree is slightly larger and not sliding down as much. Out on the ridge (N 43⁰02.732 'E 043⁰05.793'), move to the top of the ridge, the slight trail goes bypassing rock bastions. No special difficulties, passages between the rocks are quite easy and wide. Crest becomes steeper at the top, the trail goes to bypass the steep cliffs and through short steep part goes to the Summit.
Of the equipment helmets are
to be used, and under certain conditions (icy rock at the top of the ridge) you may require crampones and rope.

Our Principles

AlexClimb Rule #1 - Safety First

From the very beginning of our activity, here nearly 16 years, the first Principle of work of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb is the Safety Priority. On the basis of this Principle all process of training is based, all programs and rounds are developed and carried out only within this main principle. We consider that at professional approach to development of programs, at personal discipline and correctly put motivation - occupations by mountaineering and rock-climbing are COMPLETELY safe. And from the return - all troubles and accidents in our sport come from nonprofessionalism, from ignorance or neglect by elementary standards of safety, from irrational motivation, from revaluation of own forces and opportunities. All these prerequisites we COMPLETELY EXCLUDE in our work - ours Rock-climbing, Ice climbing and Mountaineering are based on one Principle - the Safety Priority. In rock-climbing, mountaineering and ice climbing, the Priority of Safety of MCS AlexClimb-is your personal security and comfort irrespective of, than we are engaged - we train muscles and we work technology of the movement in the sports hall and on the rock climbing wall, we make the way through snowstorm to top or we relax on golden sand of the Caribbean beach after hot day of trainings on rocks. The Safety priority - the main credo of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb.

AlexClimb Rule #2 - Leave No Trace

Closely interacting with Nature, working with the active programs in mountains, woods, lakes and rivers, we perfectly understand the importance of carefull and respectfull bahavior towards the Nature, for its resources. From the very beginning of our outdoor-activity we adopted rules of  Leave No Trace technique - the standard of behavior of the person accepted in all the civilized world in relation to environment and especially - to the wild nature. After all on the relation of people to the nature near which they exist, itself can draw dalekoidushchy conclusions on the relation of these people to... Where and as we didn't travel - we don't reserve any garbage, we try to reduce whenever possible our influence on environment to a minimum. We clear earlier zagryazyonny tourist parking of the left garbage, we take out and we take out to utilization places that to us other people left there. We consider that only thus, at personal individual consciousness of each citizen, each tourist, climber or autotraveller, we will be able to keep the nature surrounding us in its state, natural, suitable for life, - in it pledge of the healthy future for ourselves and our children.

AlexClimb Rule #3 - Sober Concious

The position of AlexClimb Mountain and rockclimbing School regarding healthy lifestyle is quite clear - we consider that only sober consciousness is capable to fill sincere emotions,  to sympathize, to enjoy life in all its variety. Bright various enjoyable life is possible only on condition of keeping the absolute sobriety and purity of consciousness. Any way of obscuring our perception of reality is intended to do harm to our consciousness and bring harm to our physical health, to replace the true values by false ones, to destroy us physically - to turn us into flabby, weak, senseless, gray herd with empty hazy eyes. We don't force anybody to our point of view, everyone has a God's gift of making his own choice and to destroy himself if that is what he wants... But in AlexCilimb Mountain Climbing School we accept quite certain and very simple set of rules: neither alcohol, nor drugs.
