The Ukraine Championship in a small mountains class took place in Crimea from May 1st till 8th. The championship has two stages — classification (school) and climb. The school this year was held in the updated format and has been broken into two stages— climb on difficulty and climb with use of artificial points of support. The stage of ascensions had 3 climbs in 4 days. Participants were offered a choice of several routes of different difficulty rating. Team that won first place in the school stage picked the first route. Team finished first on each preceding route chose the next one.

Within 4 days Valentine Sipavin and Evgenie Poltavets climbed the highest rating routes — “Drugba (Friendship)” on the Treugolnik (Triangle), “Sezon Dogdey (the Season of rains)” and “Igrok (Player)” on Morcheke. They have shown high level of physical and technical. Routes were passed with high speed and in excellent style. Based on results of two stages of the Championship guys have won the first place! Our congratulations!

What makes rock-climbing so popular nowadays?

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Perhaps the idea is that rock-climbing brings us closer to the nature by leading people out of blocks and cities towards something great and infinite. Probably it provides the opportunity just to breathe fresh air, to hide, escaping big city smog and bustle.
Rock-climbing enables harmonic personality development as it involves no human confrontation. It leaves no room for aggression. There is only the struggle within, against one’s own weakness and drawbacks, no matter whether they are physical or psychological.
Rock-climbing teaches perseverance, as well as determination, concentration and mutual understanding. It’s free from monotony due to the limitless variety of movements. Everything around is the creation of Mother Nature. Primeval mountains are the source of endless admiration!
To some of us rock-climbing gives new experiences and a chance to accept a challenge of mountain heights. Some are attracted by its strength and beauty, grace and dexterity interlaced together to arouse dramatic changes in human nature. Climbing changes one for the better, by widening one’s mental outlook, by bringing one to perfection; it instills self-confidence and develops one’s ability to estimate the situation and take proper decisions in a blink.
Actually, climbing is the most comfortable and emotionally satiating active recreation.
We offer exciting climbing tours on Crimea natural scenic routes. We have routes suitable both for advanced rock-climbers and for beginners of any physical level. Skillful coaches will help to gain basic climbing skills and provide necessary stand by on routes of varied complexity
