Mount Dykh-tau\u00a0is located on the territory of the Kabardino-Balkaria\u00a0national park\u00a0next to the famous Bezengi wall – the highest part of the Main Caucasian Range.\u00a0Bezengi region host six\u00a0out of\u00a0eight five thousand meters\u00a0peaks of the Caucasus.\u00a0If you want\u00a0to climb Dykh-tau, you may choose\u00a0one of more\u00a0than 10 different routes from 4B to 5B difficulty category\u00a0(In Russia routes are divided from level-1 to level-6 with A and B sublevels on each level).
\nWe offer climbing to the top\u00a0by\u00a0the northern ridge\u00a0(rock-ice\u00a0combined route,\u00a04B),\u00a0first made\u00a0by the English climber John Kokkin\u00a0in 1988.\u00a0It is one of the easiest and nowadays might be the safest route to climb Dykh-Tau. On the other hand, it is really technical, so some rock climbing and rope skills are required for the successful climb. Good acclimatization is a must also, so best to climb Dykh-Tau being already well-acclimatized or to spend some days in the region of Bezengi before the climb.<\/p>\n
