About the route
A long out-and-back climb from Krasnaya Polyana onto the Achishkho massif. The route rises through beech and fir forest before reaching meadows and an exposed ridge with views of Aibga, Chugush and the Main Caucasus Range. The upper section has little shelter, and the full descent is on foot back to Krasnaya Polyana.
