I'm going to Elbrus within a week, and I would like to get some help with translation of some climbing/alpinist related words. I guess there are some Russians, or Russian speaking persons, here at this forum. The thing is that I do speak a little Russian, although I have forgotten most of it. But anyway, I never learned any climbing related words, so I would appreciate if somebody would like to help me. My dictionaries doesn't cover this section really. The words I want to have translated are:

Harness
Rope
Cord (Prussic)
Sling
Carabine
Ice ax
Ice screw
Mountaineering boots
Crampons
Crevasse

I would preferably have them written in cyrillic, but it seems like this forum platform doesn't allow it.

Spasibo vam bolshoje!

I can translate most of those. I'll do it using the latin alphabet and capitalize the syllable of emphasis.

Harness = obvYAzka
Rope = verYOvka
Cord (Prussic) = I think you can just say Prussik
Carabine = karaBIN
Ice ax = ledoRUB
Ice screw = ledoBUR (90% sure this is right)
Mountaineering boots = boTINki dlya alpiNIsma (boots for mountaineering)
Crampons = KOshki (same as the plural for cat)
Crevasse = TREschina (same word as crack)

Thank you very much for your answer! I appreciate it!
