The club runs eleven climbing programs, from Kazbek (5,033 m) to Lenin Peak (7,134 m). The routes are classic and not technical: on most of them no climbing experience is required. Walking in crampons, ice-axe self-arrest and rope work are taught during the acclimatization days.
Programs run from 9 to 23 days, and most of that time goes into acclimatization rather than the climb itself. The pattern is always the same — climb high, sleep low: first excursions to intermediate altitudes with a descent for the night, and only then the summit push.
Guides are certified, and groups on Russian routes are registered with the rescue service. Every program page carries a day-by-day itinerary, what the price covers and the next departure dates.
5,642 mThe classic route up Europe's highest summit. Achievable for any healthy person in good shape.
5,621 mA wild, less crowded route to the summit from the northern hut. For those seeking authenticity.
5,033 mA scenic route to the eastern 5,000-metre peak of the Caucasus from North Ossetia.
5,033 mThe highest eastern peak of the Caucasus. The classic route from the Georgian side.
7,134 mOne of the most famous 7,000-metre peaks of the Pamir — a gateway to high-altitude mountaineering.
6,150 mA 6,000-metre Pamir summit — a logical step before Lenin Peak.
5,200 mA Pamir summit for your first high-altitude experience in the Lenin Peak area.
5,137 mThe legendary summit climbed from the Turkish side. Three countries visible from the top.
6,961 mThe highest summit of both Americas. A serious high-altitude expedition in Argentina.
5,895 mAfrica's highest point via the Machame route. Optional Ngorongoro safari and a Maasai village visit.
5,364 mThe classic trek to the foot of Everest with an ascent of Lobuche Peak.
Elbrus from the South (5,642 m), Kazbek from the North or the South (5,033 m), Yukhin Peak (5,200 m). Ten to eleven days, technically simple routes, and gear can be rented on site.
Razdelnaya Peak (6,150 m) in the Pamirs, Aconcagua (6,961 m) in Argentina, or Everest Base Camp with Lobuche Peak. These need a body used to altitude and a longer holiday — 15 days and up.
Lenin Peak, 7,134 m, 23 days. The most accessible seven-thousander in the world, but worth attempting after a 6,000er or at least a couple of 5,000ers.
Most people start with Elbrus from the South, Kazbek or Yukhin Peak. All three take 10–11 days on classic routes with no technically difficult sections. If you are torn between options, run the program finder — it asks a few questions about your experience and fitness and suggests what fits.
Not on the classic routes. Being healthy and in good physical shape is enough. Guides teach the technical skills during the acclimatization days, before the summit push. Six- and seven-thousanders are different: there the load is higher and the days are longer, so experience is required.
Acclimatization. The climb itself takes a day or two; everything else is a gradual gain in altitude so the body can adapt. A shorter schedule is possible, but it sharply raises the risk of altitude sickness and lowers your chances of reaching the summit.
It differs per program and is spelled out on each page under «What's included» and «What's not included». Flights, climbing insurance and personal gear rental are usually paid separately.
