Real Stories and Meaningful Feedback From People Who Have Traveled With Us

There are plenty of mountain guides / but not so many that give you the feeling of safety and that you can trust them with your life! Guides are put to the test in dangerous conditions to make tough calls/ I would trust Dmitri on any mountain and recommend him strongly ! I’ve climbed Elbrus and many other mountains over the years and GOOD guides are hard to find!!!

Mount Elbrus South Route

I and five other climbers joined a 7-day climb on Elbrus in June 2021, led by mountain guide Dimitry Rybalchenko.

From the outset the entire team was extremely impressed by Dimitry’s knowledge of mountaineering, experience, patience, enthusiasm, communication skills and sense of humor.

Robin Brown

Mount Elbrus South Route

Since we got know each other on slopes and summit of Aconcagua 6 years ago, I knew the level of experience, serious attitude and passion to mountains. It was real pleasure to meet again and have a wonderful week on late snow of slopes just above Almaty.
