Bread and Ashes – a Walk through the Mountains of Georgia
In this new version of the original classic guide Friedrich Bender chooses the finest climbing routes from right across the Caucasus. These include Elbrus, Kazbek, and the Ushba region. Classic ridge traverses, rock and ice climbs on dramatic peaks like Ushba, Pik Shchurovsky, Shkhelda and the Bezingi Wall. Written for climbers it opens the Caucasus to western mountaineers seeking alternatives to the overcrowded and less interesting Alps. The guide includes maps, drawings, a good selection of colour and B/W photos, showing the best approaches, bivouac sites, and difficulty of ascents.
