We will celebrate this New Year (2014) in the mountains. I invite everyone (extreme enthusiasts) to a winter hike in Crimea from 12/31/2013 to 01/02/2014. Expected: good company, a lot of snow (I would like), unearthly beauty and a sea of difficulties. If the opportunity to celebrate the New Year in an unusual way is more important to you than comfort, start preparing for a winter hike. And I will try to explain what is needed for this.
Time.
The hike will begin on the morning of Thursday, December 31, 2013 and end on Saturday, January 2, 2014. This is a preliminary version, suggestions and wishes are accepted.
New Year's hike route.
Day 1. Meet in Simferopol. We are going to the Angarsk Pass. Then walk through the peaks of Elkh-Kaya and Phal-Kaya to the MAN clearing. We look at the MAN cave. We climb the Northern Demerdzhi plateau. Through the isthmus we go out to South Demerdzhi and admire the Valley of Ghosts from above. We are located in the Dzhurla gorge and are preparing for the New Year. We meet him by the fire with stew and condensed milk:)
Day 2. We won’t be able to sleep for long, we need to move on. We will cross the Northern Demerdzhi plateau, admire the jagged rocks above the Khapkhal gorge, and conquer the Tyrke peak. We go down to the beech forest for the night.
Day 3. Today our goal is the Jur-Jur Waterfall. If you're lucky and it's cold enough, he'll be covered in ice. Then we go to the village of Generalskoye and take a taxi to Alushta, where we say goodbye.
Weather.
The weather in Crimea in winter is unpredictable. It could be snowing, it could be raining, it could be hot. We must be prepared for anything.
Equipment.
Read the indicative list of equipment for a winter hike in Crimea. Surely you will have questions, ask - I will answer. I can rent some equipment
Requirements for participants.
I warn you right away that it will be difficult. Therefore, the most important thing is readiness for difficulties and high moral character. Panic, defeatist sentiments, and any attempts at rebellion are unacceptable. Good physical shape won't hurt either (list of medical contraindications). Well, it is highly desirable that this is not the first hike in your life.
Cost of participation.
For paying participants the cost is 1000 hryvnia. If you write a review with photos, I will give you a 10% discount. The tour price includes: instructor services, 3 meals a day, medical insurance, registration with the rescue service. The tour price does not include: equipment rental, travel, paid attractions.
Once again about wishes.
While the trip is at the planning stage, I will be happy to listen to any wishes. Make it a day longer or two shorter, go there or start from here. Speak Now. Because later, on the route, there will be no time for talking.
