(Arkhyz's campaign - Red Polyana 2007)

Prologue

My idea of \u200b\u200bthe mountain campaigns was far from reality. Seduced beautiful species In photographs made by Mikhail a year ago, I considered that I had nothing to fear and the offer to join their family group answered the affirmative. Immediately make a reservation that I did not regret it later, but the tests turned out to be more severe than I assumed before.

My participation in the preparation was made only to the fact that a few days before the departure of the train to Cherkessk, I started buying some personal belongings in the campaign, and I still took a robsack my sister's husband. Otherwise, including a tent for me, and a sleeping bag with a rug, Mikhailov took care of. So there were circumstances, and I would still have a little sense from me, since in the campaigns I understood as a pig in oranges.

On the appointed day, more precisely evening - July 26, 2007 - we sat on the train "Moscow - Nalchik" and the journey began. Regarding the time spent in the wagon coupe, there was nothing to say, it was sufficiently boring, incidents were not. They slept a lot, sometimes played in the cards, there were not many or somehow unorganized. Thus, one and a half days, in the morning of July 28, 2007, we landed on the platform of the city of Cherkessk, where we were met by representatives of the Bars travel agency, who we have ordered the design of documents, and then met a representative of the Caucasian Tour agency, which and Takes us in Arkhyz.

The documents turned out such a story. First, Mikhailov was contacted by Barz and began to execute documents from them, but later it turned out that they make all the necessary skipping only on Karachay-Cherkessia, and our route was also captured and Krasnodar region. Then they found a rush order another company - the Caucasian Tour, which took up all the papers properly and in the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia and Krasnodar Territory. In order not to offend the "Bars", which has already managed to make some part of the work, did not call the application and as a result they paid both to others, having received some of the papers in a double copy.

The route with which we were going to reach the "Blue Sea", Andrei (Senior Group) took from the Internet, he posted him to the network Konovalenko Vladislav Ivanovich, head of the group of tourists of the Sochi Club "Serpentine". The group headed by him was held this route from 11.06.06 to 24.06.06. Thank you, by the way, the description is quite detailed and sensible, it helped on the road. You can find a report

Some insignificant changes in the course of the case were made by us to the route, and I will mention it, but they really do not have a fundamental importance. Another difference, which, in my opinion, is more significant, this is a trip time. Konovalenko passed by this route in June, and although it was stated in the report that the snow was almost completely designed, in the photos it can be seen that the snowflies are found quite often, especially on the slopes, and in the area of \u200b\u200bthe lane. Fedoseeva - Oz. Kyafar. We walked almost in the month of August (not counting the first three days) and on our way the snow met literally in two-time places.

Not going to tighten the introduction too long, I, perhaps, I begin to present a brief chronicle of the campaign, with an emphasis on a photo material, the authors of which 99% are Andrei and Grisha Mikhailov.

The first day. 28.07.07

We are a little subhaphotel, they drove along the dirt road almost to the moonlors. Andrei, focusing on last year, hoped to land from the car from the border shop, which was supposed to be behind the village of Arkhyz. I put out from there, but no one knew that, and the driver, thirty-nosed, spend the kilometers thirteen on Ughab, not "Thank you" of course.

Dried right on the side of the road. Grisha managed to descend to the Arkhyz River, scored a little water. The vigorous pace was pursed first along the road, then turned on the path, as soon as Andrey recognized the moonloe melan.

The first impressions are delight, euphoria, dizziness from happiness. Magnificent panoramas mountain ridges In the haze, a lot of greenery around. We had time to get acquainted with the old man of the shepherd and his sovereign dogs, which welcomed us with loud lare and the desire to "try to taste us." After the shepherd forbade them to do this and advised us, it's easier to go to pass, we protoved along the trail for half an hour and arranged the first habit.

On the privala, the tea was reinforced with breadcrumbs and rigorous sausage. Rested a little more than an hour, then went further. They began to pick up to the right, forced the stream, part of the path passed through the forest. The path is clear, the places came across steep rise in degrees 40-45, but, however, a small length of up to ten meters.

Another small approximately twenty-minute vacation in the meadow, during which Andrei made a reconnaissance raid. Upon return, Andrei "pleased" by the fact that the stream will have to move back, since we apparently come down from the trails.

Quite steep descent to the stream, suddenly raining rain with a hail. A small hitch at the crossing, first because of the raincoats, which were constantly sculpted with backpacks (first of all, they tried to protect them from rain, it was them), after the approach to the opposite bank, also cool enough. Not the most comfortable spot For crossing. Last jerk on stone ridge to the parking lot on the outskirts of the forest.

The first camp, the first dinner - buckwheat porridge with stew. The abundance of tea, to dinner and after. Again, Andrei went into intelligence, this time, more prolonged, the remaining dishes walk in water, support fire in the fire. Dark, we begin to worry about the long lack of Andrei, finally, it appears, drink tea again and disperse through the tents. I stay at the fire for the longest, I write down in a diary at the light of the fire, I smoke, thinking about the first impressions of the first day of the campaign.

Second day. 07/29/07

Early rise, but late exit. Andrey and I woke up about six in the morning, Irina with Grisha is sleeping two more hours. We manage to get enough tea from the chasty, and cook rice on dry milk. Somewhere in the half-eleventh, they continued their way along the stone removal along the edge of the forest. The angle of the lifting ranges between Z0-40 degrees. I actively help myself with my hands, actually passing most of the path on the karachets, especially when it comes to herbaceous slopes.

Having risen to the next terraces, we met a local resident - Guadyuk Dinnik, who kindly allowed himself to take a picture, however, with a not very close distance, referring to the fact that she did not count on the shooting today.

After a photo session, rest on the rocky slope. It is hard, but it can be seen, is there any other fauna representatives nearby. Andrei, by tradition, for exploration. I went, replenished water reserves, after which we rested for at least an hour. We decided to go on my own towards Andrei, but noticed how he descends to us down the slope, pleased that he left under the pass and found a comfortable place to sleep.

Before going further, it was decided to have lunch. The first dinner cooked on the gas burner. I go again behind the water until Andrei collects the burner and begins to prepare potato mashed potatoes. I dinner quickly, until the sunset remains no more than three hours, and there is no less than half a kilometer ahead. Given our average speed of movement, it makes us stroke. Also quickly drink tea, we begin to gather.

Gaduka Dinnika

Last assault for this day, at the end of which, your humble servant falls into emergency situation. Before the cherished pollasts, there was a couple of dozen meters, when I "hung up" on a bulk, trying to slip by travers dangerous place. The situation straightens all the same Andrei. Armed with ice ax, he knocks for me "Stairs" in a loose ground, with the help of which I could get out on a more solid place. Until the end of this day was shocked, neither cigarettes were helped, nor fifty grams of brandy. A good lesson for a cheeky novice - Mountains can not only please the eyes.

After entering the glades under the pass, they quickly scatter the camp, we cook puree again, this time with stew, tea and put to sleep. The night, as predicted Andrey Cold. The coldest for the whole hike, which makes put on all the warm things. But it is not surprising, the height is about 2,600 - 2,700 m (this is, however, I don't know exactly the height).

Day Three. 30.07.07

Morning. On the tents is abundant dew. Andrei we go for water. Water flows with drops from the cliff standing next to the translated takeoff. Near the rocks of a snowy glade. Something by typing half the flanges, as it is still cold, and the water does not want to ripple, but continues to break the drops from above, go back to the camp. Breakfast is tea with crackers and caramels. It was decided to arrange a halt after passing the ridge. The pass nearby, however, climb on a screaming at an angle of 30 degrees.

Nevertheless, we give tents a little bit, I do not want to collect them together with dew. Andrei takes pictures of the neighborhood, and Grisha takes pictures of Andrei and its "autograph", laid out on the gland from stones - "Moscow - 2007 - Pushkino". Having paid half an hour, we begin to gather.

Put to Fedoseeva Pozal. First, the first goes Andrei, he begins to knock out the icerock "steps" in the scree. For him, I remember the occasion on the eve, noticeably nervous. Grisch and Irina procession closure. I finally catch up with Andrei and decide to go further, already without the "steps". The trail is visible well, under the legs unpleasantly "moving" the small scree. Having overcome half of the takeoff, sit down on the stone, I am comfortable, it's more comfortable, I'll have a cigarette, I will burn. Soothing, somehow unexpectedly for myself, I understand that nothing terrible here will not happen and, Doking, I go further.

Andrei catches me already on the saddle of the pass, leaves a backpack and descends to help Irina and Grisha. Grisha, however, soon joins me and begins to disassemble the transfer tour. Soon, everyone gathered near the tour, the photos, of course, and after a short rest, we go on to the passage of Agur.

Traversing the northern slope, after half an hour we are already on the passage of Agur. I managed to slip two or three times on a snowy cleaner until I have mastered the walking technique on the slope covered with the lowered snow. The shoe needs to be "driven" the edge in the snow, trying to handle deeper into it, otherwise I will definitely slip. In Agure, do not delay, several photographs, I smoke a cigarette by tradition, remove the note, we leave my and forward.

Descent from Agura I am not easy, although it is relatively flat. I did not expect that with a backpack there are more than twenty kilograms behind your back so slowly descend down. It turns out that it is much easier for me to climb up! The record for high-speed descent belongs to Irina, the distance from the pass to the nameless lakes, where we arranged the halt, she passed in one breath and seems to be in a quarter of an hour. I got the last, burning from the thirst and the sample backpack, who pulled the shoulders to me (that's what the absence of experience means! I did not guessed straight straps to adjust!).

Swimming in the lake, then cook buckwheat porridge, and we can eat it with pleasure. Resting a total of more than two hours. Andrei managed to make a lot of photographs during this time, even take a picture of one mountain goat, published, though. After lunch and rest we are going to Pozal Soulgwalle. On the way, we see karst dips, going under the snow cap, on the vertices of the rocks, small silhouettes of mountain goats.

Pass soiled. The most imperceptible from the passages passed by us in this expedition. Also a short rest, a few photos, I smoke, Irina shoots and writes a note, then we go further, planning to go out for the night to Lake Kyafar. The short section of the descent is a felous slope of a steepness of up to 40 degrees passing under the rock wall, and is also very unreliable, apparently from it and raw. Although when we passed, nothing fell. In front of this cool, the lake, defined by us as "failed,", but still not sure that this is really it, most likely it was either a zuror lake, or that group Konovalenko conventionally called Lake Soulgwalle.

Next, we also go to the terrace where we slow down, because we cannot find the descent from the go to the lakes that opened ahead. Andrei goes to the left along the ridge, and somewhere still finds the descent to the bottom, but we are not solved by calling for themselves, and in the end, the problem is solved by the fact that there is quite a comfortable descent to the right.

Ira with Grisha after the descent asked the timeout, after all the day was rich in the events, so the honor to choose a place for the night fell to me. Fifteen minutes later came to the shore of the lake (most likely just a failure!), And began to be located. Ten minutes later, everyone was assembled and installed the camp.
Dinner, almost in the dark, then Andrei drink tea, already in the dark, Ira and Griska went to bed. Andrei heard that someone else goes towards the camp. Light flashlight, peerly, listen, but he just thought there was no one.
Then we disperse the tents and go to bed. I wake up at night from the fact that the wind that did not notice the day at all, tangible tent tent. But these gusts were fighting, and I fall asleep again and wake up only at half pastime.

Day four. July 31, 2007

In fact, this was half the day. Everyone woke up pretty late, and went to the road even later, in an hour of day. Before that, they rested, sunk, they did not dare to swim. Places there are very beautiful and the first half of the day was gorgeous - the sun, quiet and grace. If you rise to the hill, following the north-west, then Lake Kyafar is visible as on the palm. Kyafar, in my opinion, the most beautiful lake From those that we came along the way. Sometimes it is also called Kyzylchuk, although there such dual names are not uncommon, it seems to be sufficiently studied places, but since low-handed, apparently and names, data from man, do not want to stay alone among rocks, stones, snow and immense sky.

Onshated to enjoy, went further, in the most heat, which is generally not entirely right. Planned to leave in the evening at the lakes under the pass of the Rachespsta. Not far from the lake stumbled upon another karst failure. Andrei descends there, finds bones, allegedly Turks.

We go further on the right bank of Kyafar. I and Irina were not kept from the shedding along the way to swim in Kyfar. Great of course, but the water is cold! After kyafar, we go, as followed in the description of the route for the flow of East Kyafar.

Forged through this very eastern kyafar, the first ferrod, when you have to drive and move the river barefoot. Also quite sharp feelings. The water seems to be ice, but due to the stony bottom, it is not possible to quickly pass the nonsense in general.

After the crossing, we go upstream the Kyzylchuk River (or Rachespsta?), The river flows through a narrow gorge between the ridge of the chilik and the extension of Abishire-Ahuba. We rose to the pass, bypassing Barani foreheads. The whole valley is similar to the giant steps on which we are like ants. According to our calculations, we had to soon come to the lakes, which were under the pass and stop there for the night. Lakes were further than we imagined.

I make a small reconnaissance raid forward, leaving a backpack at the founding of the next laborer forehead. Irina and Grisha clearly "not in shape", they are hard to give rise and Andrei against his usual is not ahead, but goes next to them. I'm still a couple of "steps", I did not see the lakes, but I saw quite decent clearing, where it is convenient to deploy the camp.

Returning back, I find the whole group where I left the backpack. I tell me what I saw, make a decision to reach the Pollas, so as not to put tents on the stones. Irina and Grisha have to strain the last forces to overcome another kilometer. Andrei still held us a little further, another time on three hundred, where the glade becomes more even and extensive, here and decided to stop.

Preparing dinner and meet an equestrian squad, also tourists. Two - Conductors Karachay, with them five people tourists, three guys and two girls. One of the conductors is very sociable, we talk with him a couple of minutes while their detachment pulls up to the founding of the next lamb forehead. Then they rise above, sometimes hurrying and helping to rise horses along a steep slope. We look at this operation, surprised by the fact that such passes can be overcome in the saddle.

During dinner, we are covered with a mushroom rain. While urgently dragged things into the tents, he had almost ended, but it became quickly tortower - in the twilight mountains short. When the tea was finished with Andrey, the night went down. I didn't want to sleep, but there was absolutely nothing to do, I really lacked a fire, with his light I could make records in the diary, and so I had to lie in a tent, waiting for the dream.

Fifth day. 01.08.07

I wake up from the fact that the tent tent hurt the wings of the sparrows that arranged in the meadow. What they did not share there, I do not know, but "argued" desperately. It was annoying, because I could still sleep, and it was ridiculous that such "eagles" were the reason for the awakening. Time eighth hour, it's time to ride, as a little about the planned schedule.

While I washed and scored water in the river, I woke up Andrew. Boil water on the burner, brew tea, soon wake up Irina with Grisha. Breakfast, heating the remains of buckwheat porridge, which they did not eat in the evening and begin to gather. Morning, as usual, wonderful, but we did not delay, since they did not know the real distance to the pass. I go out the latter, smoking a bit, having rejected shoes, but quickly catching up Iru with Grisha, who always go slowly, after writing for Andrei. Andrei broke a little forward, and, using the fact that in the morning he does not need anyone to "patronize", photographs a lot, our at all at all sports team provides him with enough time for this occupation.

After going to the pass, we finally find lakes to which they did not reach the day before. About one of them - Nizhnya is located the camp of the equestrian group, with which we met in the evening. They are not treated with the exit, it's easier for them, all the goods carry horses on himself, we walked to noons for yourself, climbed into the pass.

On the pass, we stayed for about an hour. I recorded a chronicle of events in the diary, Irina as usual was engaged in translated notes, Andrei with Grisha photographed. Then they began to descend to the Valley of Arcise. The descent was harder than the lift. The coolest slope, the angle of inclination was at least 45 ° in places, and sometimes it seems to me further, however, in such a slopes we no longer walked, but they were looking for a path more flat. An hour and a half went down, I confess, I was tired and was very happy to the prival, I was glad to pull the boots, as the legs burned with fire.

It was decided to drink tea with breadcrumbs, but then they welded soup from bags, and then the thunderstorm covered us. While we have dinner, we managed to overtake our familiar horsemen and go to the next pass - Pheii, we were forced to put tents because of the thunderstorms, since the element had a riser. Thunderstorm raised one and a half hours, I managed to record in the diary, all current events, to build and even dream about not anywhere else to go on this day, but at 18:00 the bad weather retreated, and we began to gather on the road. While I hung up with a backpack, the busting of the wind picked my empty and already "disjointed" by this time a tent and rolled under a slope. It caught up with her Andrei at the very last moment, further the slope was very cool, and then I would have to pull out a tent from the Arkhyz River.

We all pretty quickly descended to the river, threw it on the stones, then rose to the path and hurried to the next pass. The local valley, apparently, is taped for pastures, since we saw Otara Sheep, however, she did not notice the shepherds. Another, when climbed onto the path, were clouded by dogs near the kosh, but we still allowed us to go through "Storam". It was not difficult to go along the trail, and we quickly, without stretching, as usual along the way, came to the Pokhi pass. Monuments were installed on the pass, the fights for the Caucasus were held in the Great Patriotic. On the right side, the above was visible to some other structures, revealed to the tombstones or obeliski, I could not see. Perhaps there were burials fallen in battles, but the time to go there we had no longer, was the ninth hour of the evening, and we still had to find a place to sleep.

After a kilometer in a fast pace, we went to the lesters, where they found a clearing convenient for Bivak. The start rapidly darkest, and I didn't have to slow down - Andrew, with the go, I was engaged in the fire, we tents. I finished installing already in the light of the lantern, Grisha helped me. Then dinner in the dark, with the light of the fire, tea. The first time they saw the firefly, before I never met with these interesting insects, just read or heard about them. After tea, they scattered across the tents, and the dream did not make himself wait long, the day was glorious, what to say!

Day sixth. 02.08.07

I woke up almost simultaneously with Andrey in the seventh hour. The sun has not yet quite illuminated our camp, so it was cool and damp. Divaled the fire, put water to boil on tea. An hour later, Grisha and Irina woke up. Breakfast by semolina. It turns out that Grisha can not tolerate her, but I didn't even like it. Our way was lying in the village of Pheiya, on the calculations of Andrei he was in seven-eight kilometers from us. We expected to go through this distance in two or two and a half hours. Thought that this is quite real, since the way was to stay along the trail. In fact, there was no less than twelve kilometers, but we didn't know that. To all of the time, we (I'm certainly for sure!) The speed of our movement was completely incorrectly calculated. For some reason, I, for example, was confident that we will go at least 4 kilometers per hour, and this is fundamentally incorrect when you have to go through the crossed area, and even under a backpack. As a result, there were five hours.

First, got on the path. The trail is really "packed", so one pleasure go through it. Below, the river Pheiye flowed on the left, and almost all of our path coincided with her channel. Around a lot of greenery, mostly lops giant sizes, Borshevik, thistle, umbrellas. Trees are usually either lower by the river, or above the trails on the slope of the right hand, relative to our movement. Insects appeared, before in the valley of Arcise, there were few of them, only under the reticulous mosquitoes were noticed. Met large group Tourists going to Arkhyz. Perhaps, it was even two groups, as a person met fifteen, and ten minutes later, about the same. However, besides the traditional greeting, we asked them only, is it far from the village? I answered us one of the guys going ahead, and as it turned out later wrong. He said that there was a kilometer three, but before the village was all nine.

Approximately half of the way Andrew and I went ahead, Irina and Grisha as usual in the first half of the day they were behind. Passed the camp of our familiar horsemen, then they overtook us on the road. For a while I broke into the leaders, Andrei walked next to Ira and Grisha. Met at the next transition three local riding, most likely the shepherd, maybe the logger, asked how much even before the village. They answered quite confused, I only understood that we went to this moment Half the way, and it was a little upset me, since we were already three hours.

Before entering the dirt road, laid forest marks and tractors directly to Phiu, we fell under the rain. Laid it, rolling from the trails under the pah paws, minutes forty. Then we got on the road, it began to pour a twice clay on the sole, fortunately, it lasted for a short time, somehow everything dries it very quickly after the rain. Unfortunately, I first encountered the painful sensations in my feet, as a result of which the first time was seriously behind the rest and caught them only in the village.

In Phi, they stayed for a short time, one and a half hours. Bought in the store cookies, gas production, several canned fish. Agreed by S. local residents The fact that we are brought to Damhurts by car. So much time saved, and forces too, all the same 14 kilometers along a bumpy dirt road. We have been driving in the body of UAZ, with numerous stops about and without reason. The eight-year-old boy was sitting behind the wheel, as proudly told us his pretty "loyal" uncle. For the passage with us, six hundred rubles took us, instead of five hundred, stipulated earlier, apparently only because of what they learned from us on the road that we were from Moscow. In Damhurtz landed, and immediately went raining.

Pested by wooden bridge The place of merger of Damhurtz with a big label and stopped at Kosoyra under the fir waiting for Andrei on Cordon Karapir celebrate our skipping. Waiting was delayed, it works on Cordon clearly without proper professionalism, the paper was filled with errors and reworked again. We managed to grow thoroughly for forty minutes, the rain did not stop. When Andrei returned, he told us the news that we will spend the night on the cordon, the point of the night will take the point in the rain on the night, looking, it was not.

On the cordon, there were five liters of milk and loaf of bread (Kayf!), As well as agreed, not immediately, the truth that we spend in a lot that standing next to the house in which the Cordon Cordon "lived and served serve. While Irina, Grisha and I equipped a new dwelling for the night, Andrei, wobbling finally, spread the fire and prepared dinner.

They filed, and waving, as it turned out things for drying, they themselves went to bed. Andrei settled on the floor, Irina and Grisha got a wooden layman. The van is small, close, but the most important thing is dry. I slept, by the way, wonderful, despite the fact that the soft "bed" is called neither how it did not work.
