From my photos you can understand how NOT to climb a mountain.
-
Go with the baby? Do not wear it in clean, new clothes. I brought an Indian dress from Dubai. Polina put it on the mountain for the first time. We buried him there too
-
From the first rule follows the second - do not wear the oldest holey slippers, in which your heels will feel every travinochku. In general, about hiking shoes, I am a master to make a mistake. Beshtau is no exception. There was a hole in my striped slippers and part of the sole just showed through. It was very painful
-
Do not take a lot of food, water and cigarettes. Incidentally, I am not like that at all. I do not smoke. And I do not advise you. But even those from the “tutu-a-day” order said that after such a physical culture they don’t want to carry all the nasty things into their mouths (which is fine, my friends!) They don’t want to eat Beshtau, a chain smoker does not want to smoke, but those who just love to drink generally try not to bother with such difficult routes)))
-
Mosquitoes. And the Crimean hemorrhagic fever with them - it does not matter! Buy a balloon of poison! Splash at the foot of the mountain and forward to new horizons!
-
Hats, caps personally hindered us very much. Incredibly interfered. We thought we were going to die from a sun attack, but the sun attack itself almost died from us. The road is almost all the time through the forest. And at the very top, believe me, the sun will excite you at the very least)))
-
Be prepared for the fact that if physical activity in daily life tends to zero, then the next day after climbing your muscles will remind you that they exist and they cannot but eat! It will be unusual, but tolerable
⠀
Now you know everything about me or almost everything. After all, I, naturally, went to conquer Beshtau in the wrong shoes with my head wet from the cap, I was attacked by the sun and mosquitoes to the fullest, but then I felt completely how I shouldn’t do)
