This section contains articles which were written as a result of solving problems and issues that arise when working with the climbing programs in the mountains, on the rocks and ice. In order to avoid repeating other people's mistakes and get the most positive emotions from participating in any alpine climbing or rockclimbing trip, you should carefully read our answers to the questions that the participants of these programs have already asked.

During the existence of the MCS AlexClimb School, more than 200 unique mountaineering, rockclimbing and iceclimbing programs were created, invented, developed and conducted. Each trip was unique in its own way, full of the new emotions and achievements. Not always everything went smooth - after all, this format of activity has a lot of nuances, difficulties and risks.

Nevertheless, all the programs in our collection are certainly interesting, although not always easy or simple adventures. Each of these adventures, whether it's climbing the sky-high peaks, training on sunny rocky verticals or the crystal ice of frozen waterfalls, has its own specific characteristics.

Understanding these features allows participants to be better prepared for the difficulties that await them.

Each program is a great personal experience not only for the participants, but also for the organizers and guides. Many of the popular programs were carried out many times, which made it possible to gain invaluable experience in working with people, understanding the features of the specific locations. Based on this experience, a collection of materials has been created to help people better understand the nature of the difficulties that await them and also how to avoid annoying mistakes.
