Climbing Belukha via Delaunay

We are going to conquer Belukha— the highest peak in Siberia. Our route runs along the ridge from the Delaunay pass through the peak of the same name. Along the way, we will admire the beauty of the Chui tract, enjoy the scenery of Lake Akkem and breathe clean mountain air.

Depending on the level of training, there will be 1-2 people in a bunch with a guide. Technically, the traverse is simple, but it requires good physical shape and experience in climbing ridge routes. If this is about you, then we are waiting for you on our expedition!
