The main goal of the project is to run the first climb in all Big Wall regions.This route should be one of the most difficult by the Wall. Project is unique because none of the team in the world did not do it before us.We understand that the problem can not be solved by the party. Weunite the forces of best climbers of our country - champions of Russiain technical class, experienced climbers.

There are about 10 mountain regions in the world known to any mountaineers. The main feature of these regions is summits with steep wall with a length more then kilomiter. Americans called such summits "Big Walls". There exist routes by these Walls. Every of them called by the name of first climbers or country they arefrom. One can see American, French, Swiss routes but no one Russian. Actually, the route done by such wall is a kind of face of the country. It is hard to run but it is very prestigious. Well known Sovjet climber Misha Khergiani ran in 60th a route by the Grand Gorasses wall and his way is known as "Russian variant" (by the way, he is Georgian).

We hope that the project will be eliminated by mass media and keep interest of many climbers and just people loving mounts andadventures.
