Reference: When climbing, almost all the muscles of the body are strengthened, and it is also an excellent cardio load that strengthens the heart.

To participate in competitions, it is not necessary to be engaged in rock climbing all your life. Enough perseverance and determination.

Though rock climbing recently, has moved inside, climbing on natural terrain - rocks has remained a necessary part in the preparation of a climber.

Rock climbing allows you to quickly work out some technical elements that are difficult to understand on a climbing wall; gives psychological relief to athletes; allows you to more realistically assess the growth of the technical and physical level of the athlete.

For training on natural terrain, athletes use prepared arrays - cleared of "live" stones, with punched points for upper and lower insurance.

In Bishkek area, rock climbers train on the rocks of Chunkurchak, Ala-Kush, Raspberry Gorge, Aksai.

But Kyrgyzstan has a huge potential for the development of rock climbing on natural terrain. And in recent years, we have organized several expeditions to assess areas suitable for climbing camps - the presence of rocks with a variety of terrain, large areas for belay and camping, the availability of water.

Unkur-Tash rocks in the Naryn region, Dangi Ak-Bura in the Osh region, Karakul in the Jalal-Abad region turned out to be very interesting areas in this regard.

We had the idea of ​​organizing sport camps on the rocks of Karakul for a long time.Every time we went down from the Kok-Bel pass and got into the canyon of the Kara-Suu river, we admired these walls. Several times we stopped and walked along the shore, checking new interesting routes.

Finally, there is an opportunity to make dreams come true. We have gathered a strong, friendly team, for whom climbing and hiking in the mountains is a main passion.

Everything went well - a long weekend, good weather and a desire to see new things.

And here is our big company of more than 40 people, on the rocks of Kara-Suu.
Having set up camp, they began preparing routes. We started with simple ones to take 20 kids of 4-17 years old.

In total, Misha Danichkin and Nikolai Gutnik with their assistants went through 12 routes from 20 to 45 meters in length of varying difficulty. They punched two tracks for entering the hinged routes.

During the training camp, we managed to climb rocks, and master the passage of railings on the jumar, descent on a rope, and even climb.

We plan to make these sports camps regular. Especially, we want to break through several beautiful multi-pitches and joint training camps with athletes from the southern region.
