alpinistic

One of the most complex forms of tourism is alpinism, the opportunities for which are truly unlimited in the USSR. The six- and seven-thousand meter summits of the Pamir-Alay and the Central Tyan'-Shan', the five-thousand meter summits of the Caucasus, the very high snow-capped mountains of Kamchatka, the multitude of summits of alpinistic class exceeding 4,000 meters in the mountains of the Altay, the Northern and Western Tyan'-Shan'—such is the field of activity for summit-climbing alpinists.
