Very impressive page and I'm even more impressed with the fact that you climbed the peak. It is one of the most beautiful mountains I have ever seen. It looked really difficult.

Great page about this great mountain... Hungry for more pictures though! I was lucky to know Pavel Zack, the first who made Ushba's Cross route. This pictures brought back many of his amazing stories.

Again, very, very good page

Thanks

Just noticed you have Ushba as being in Russia/Georgia on the header. Should it just be Georgia?

I have always wanted to climb the Ushba ever since I saw it in one of my father's mountain books before I could read, but now it's too late, I think. I have one objection: You shouldn't call it "Mount Ushba"! I my opinion the Ushba should join the select group of mountains, such as the Matterhorn, the Eiger, Les Drus, La Meije, that are known known only by their own name, a "Mt." can only deduct from that status!

Thank you for your comment and correction, it really makes sence, will change the name. Don't ever say too late! Once in 2002 we climbed South Ushba, one of the guys who summited was aged 76 :) This summer (July) we plan to climb several routes to North and South Ushba from Georgian side and I kindly invite you to take part in the expedition which is interesting not only as climbing event, but as a fairy chance to visit Svanetia
Sincerely yours, Alex Trubachev

Alex,

Great pictures and the text stuff commented on by others is a minor distraction that does not detract from such an awesome peak and climb! Russians should put aside differences with Georgia on such a remote peak as both countries could benefit from tourism and peak ascents with trained local guides, if any.


Maybe both countries could treat it as a neutral zone for those who wish to take such a perilous, yet memorable climb by registering with both countries and paying appropriate fees. I don't think the U.S., let alone Russia, would try to post some sort of military installation ther? Or would they?

Thank you for your comment! As for logical decision for the border problem is is clear that such famous objects as Ushba, Shkhara, Kazbek shoul be in some admissible space to allow people come and enjoy, there is nothing criminal in that. But at the moment Russian - Georgian political dealings can not be treated in logical way, politics are liable to personal insults and climbing mountains is really far from their interests of today.
