Description

Join me to climb the north summit of the notable peak of Ushba in the Caucasus Mountains. Located in the Svaneti region in Georgia, Ushba is popularly known as the “Matterhorn of the Caucasus” because of its gorgeous double-summit and is definitely worth exploring.

The 8-day trek will take you to climb the north summit. You will scale on an interesting combination of ice, rock and fresh snow. No wonder it is a dream summit for all climbers!

We’ll begin the journey in Mestia. The following days will take us through various camps and all along, we’ll be rewarded by stunning views of neighboring peaks.

The north summit of Ushba is a 4B grade on the European scale, so make sure you have previous climbing experience. Also, we’ll be ascending in a higher altitude region, so it is a must to have a fit body to sign up.

We’ll climb the summit of the fifth day and what a feeling it would be! You’ll be stunned by the jaw-dropping views of the south summit and the spectacular alpine terrain. Then, after relishing our time, we’ll begin our descent and after a day of rest, end the journey in the beautiful village of village Mazeri.

If this spectacular tour to the peak of Ushba interests you, send a message now to book your seat. You’ll have an amazing time, I assure you.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
