Everybody needs a good mountain sunburn!

This funny sketch was written after one of my Mount Ushba climbs more than 20 years ago. Then the border between Russia and Georgia was what it should be - a formal line between friendly countries. Where no one put up obstacles so that everybody can climb the mountain peaks, enjoy the life and fool around the way he wants.

This summer (2003), in the most remote corner of the Central Caucasus, took place the grand opening of the highest mountain nudist beach in the world. This event was not noticed by the media, the major TV companies did not send their representatives there, the local authorities did not deploy riot police to ensure security.

Perhaps that is why the event was not overshadowed by incidents, acts of terror and cries of fighters for public peace and morality. In short, everything went very peacefully, imperceptibly and calmly.

The main feature and advantage of our beach is the abundance of opportunities for sunbathing and exciting recreations.

Here you can get a classic golden tan, or a spicy pink or cream tan, as well as all the shades of chocolate tan. It is even possible, without much difficulty, to achieve the formation of a tan with a crispy crust, but this is for a very sophisticated amateurs.

Of the shortcomings, we noticed only the lack of cabanas for changing clothes and interruptions in the helicopter pizza delivery. But these unpleasant impressions were fully compensated by the excellent quality of the nice (ice) service, individual approach, excellent arrangement and an abundance of additional entertainment.

The set of entertainment includes Caucasian slides, a casino and Russian roulette (works regularly 24/7), iceclimbing, mountain skiing, flights in a dream and in reality (if you fall into crevass), mulattos with martini trays (so far, this option is also available only in a dream, but we are working on a solution to the problem).

In addition, here is the highest level of political and terrorist security, the absolute absence of television broadcasting, propaganda and idly staggering public, consistently good weather.

Dress code for access to the Ushba high-mountain nudist beach

Summing up, I can say that the opening of the high-altitude Ushba nudist beach has become a truly global event, opening a new page in the history of sunbathing and mountaineering as an exquisite form of leisure.

Due to the limited number of places and high seasonal demand, in order to visit the high mountain Ushba nudist beach, you need to leave a preliminary application on the website of owners and organizers - www.alexclimb.com

I can guarantee to you the availability of free sun loungers made of sun and mulattos (optional) only in case of timely pre-ordering!

All the Mount Ushba climb in the 2000 - 2005 seasons were developed and carried out by the AlexClimb Mountaineering and Rock Climbing School.
