Mount Ushba (4700 m) is one of the most famous and difficult to climb peaks of the Caucasus, located on the border of Georgia and Russia. The mountain has two peaks, the northern and southern, which is slightly higher. The first ascent to the northern peak was made in 1888, the southern peak was conquered in 1903 by a German-Swiss-Austrian expedition. Climbing Ushba is considered technically difficult. This is due to the steepness of the slopes, snow and ice cover and unstable weather in this area. Filming, editing and voice-over comments - Alexander Moroz (https://morozmountains.com)
