The route consists of a climb of about 250 meters along a trail and large boulders.
Therefore, we recommend taking XB gloves with you, as we will cling to the stones (and they are sometimes sharp).
As soon as we get to the lakes (it's 1.5-2 hours away, depending on the pace of the group), we'll have a snack and rest on the lakes.
By the way, you can swim in them, so that there is a surge of strength for climbing.

The ascent itself is not difficult.
There is only 1 unpleasant rocky area where, with the help of an instructor and a "teammate", we will overcome it calmly!
Then there will be a protracted climb.
In total, 1.5- 2 hours, depending on the pace of the group.
15:00 At about this time, we will go down to the Tsvetnye lakes, where we will have a snack and begin the descent to our camp.
