HARE Grey (Katya): Greetings! She is Katya. The hike at us was IN!

About Us

3 eyes, American Cross and Red Flag
The sea rises in clouds. Clouds are poured in the sea. The world - a sphere, and you - inside of it(him). The world without horizon. And if before you the dark cloud will hang, and somewhere away above the sea the sun black will be above, and blue - below will shine. The world head over heels.Soviet Alpinism
The Soviet people want to know your beautiful home: they bravely paddle kayaks light Siberian rivers, they are rising to the top of the diamond of their homeland. Noble and thrilling sport - climbing - only in the Soviet Union became available workers. Stakhanovite worker, student-student, Soviet intellectuals use their vacation for a fascinating journey through the mountains and valleys blooming Soviet soil.Briefly about mountains
Our planet the Earth was no time the heated ball which gave heat to interplanetary space and was gradually cooled(refrigerated). The contents of the Earth included various chemical elements, and at its(her) cooling more serious of them have lowered(omitted) downwards. Lighter(More mild) elements have emerged on a surface, they first of all have undergone to cooling, have more quickly hardened. As a result of this process three basic coating of the Earth were formed: the fallen asleep coating from granitov and basalts; an ore coating from light(mild) metals and, at last, the kernel(core) of the Earth formed by heavy metals.Making Your Gear Count
"Here�s my chance, I say. A backpacking website is looking for a writer who will work cheap - real cheap. The dilemma of any would-be author, however, is choosing the right subject. So many topics related to backpacking have been well-covered, if not buried. Who needs another essay on �beginner�s tips,� �pack it out� or �cotton sucks�? Instead, because it�s my favorite thing, I want to write about gear choices. Yes, it has been done before, but maybe I have a different angle. See, for me, gear choice is not just questions of weight, size and price. My principal criterion is versatility.Ascent tactics
To make a route of an ascention is means to plan on maps and under descriptions a way up to the basic camp at the top chosen for an ascention, and to plan then the provisional scheme(plan) of the ascention. At drawing up of a route initial data are given by geography of the given district (and its(his) climate): in average height of a ridge, in height and a category of difficulty of the planned top, a season and the month, chosen for an ascention.Resque in mountains
Each amateur group, each participant of camp or occasion should remember, that the Soviet climber is obliged to go on the first call to the aid of sufferred disaster in mountains. If the group of climbers accepts an alarm signal, she immediately stops an ascention and is entirely switched to saving work, unconditionally submitting to its(her) principal.The Vapor Barrier
It was mid October when we left for our last hike of the year. The temperature high on that first day was 65�F, so we knew we were in for a chilly night. As we started settling into camp that first evening, the sun dropped behind the mountain range and it felt like the temperature instantly dropped 10 degrees - funny how that happens up high in the mountains (we were at ~10,500 feet). My buddy started scurrying about pulling out all his cold weather gear; goose down parka, polartec vest, heavy wool shirt, thermax long sleeved T-shirt, thermax long-johns, polartec sweat pants, wool cap, and wool gloves. There he stood, all decked out to do battle with the cold, looking as wide as he was tall. Poor fellow could barely move about to do any of his camp chores, and surely without the slightest bit of grace or dignity. I, on the other hand, put on my vapor barrier (VB), a long sleeved thermax T-shirt, a heavy wool shirt, thermax long-johns, polartec sweat pants, a wool caps, and fingerless wool gloves. My buddy looks at me and says "putting plastic against my skin is a sure way for me to be miserable." This is the unfortunate presumption made by most individuals on the use of a VB.The Valuable Day Hike
If ever you've been struck by the urge to get up and head to your local mountain and walk around for a bit, there's only one way to pacify this feeling. Go on a day hike. What better way to spend a free afternoon than to lace up your boots and get away from life for awhile than by heading out on the trail for afternoon of solitude? But one thing that many people don't realize is how useful a day hike can be. While it may be a great way to relax, it can be so much more. Learning how to make it such can be a valuable way to make yourself a better hiker.Rock climbing
The rocky technics(technical equipment) is extremely various. To seize(take possession) her(it), it is necessary to train longly and persistently. From first days it is necessary to understand and acquire the basic receptions of rock-climbing. These receptions are developed(produced) on the basis of as physical data-dexterities, accuracy of movements and force, and moral qualities - boldness, speed of orientation, resoluteness and care (feeling of a measure).Using the Rope
Moving ahead in a hazardous place, the climber should provide to itself successful and safe promotion on this site. The climber uses for this purpose the equipment and, first of all, a cord. The main purpose(appointment) of a cord-охранение: to keep the broken climber from the further fall. The Alpine cord preserves a life of the climberEquipment of the climber
Equipment of the climber (ledorub, cats, krjuchja), its(his) regimentals (the jacket, trousers, boots), the equipment play a huge role at an ascention. Using "arsenal", the climber successfully overcomes obstacles, is covered from a bad weather, protects itself from obmorazhivanija and colds.Camp in the mountains
The organization of a bivouac(camp) in mountains has very much great value both at an ascention, and in a hike. In process of promotion upwards and with approach(approximation) a snow line the organization of bivouacs(camps) becomes more and more responsible(crucial) business, and in high mountains safety of the climber frequently depends on the organization of a bivouac(camp) also. The wrong and inept organization of a bivouac(camp) can threaten with serious consequences: the good bivouac(camp) is provided strong with a soya bean and the necessary rest(tour), the bad bivouac(camp) does not give a normal dream without which the nervous system does not receive the necessary rest(tour), and it in turn entails ugnetennoe or an apathetic state which can easily become the reason of failure(accident).Results 301 - 320 of 322
