Ascent to Avachinsky volcano (2741 m) via Category 1B route with description of the approach, ascent, and route specifics.
Characteristics of the Avachinskaya group of volcanoes, geographical location.
The Avachinskaya group of volcanoes is located 30 km north of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. It consists of five volcanoes, two of which are active, one of them, Koryaksky, being the highest volcano in southern Kamchatka. The volcanoes of this group are very popular among tourists and mountaineers due to their proximity to the city. Many routes have been laid to the summits, ranging from 1B to 3B in difficulty. Dirt roads lead to the foot of the volcanoes. The best time for ascents is from July to September. In winter and spring, it is only possible to reach the foot of the volcanoes by snowmobile or on skis. The slopes of the volcanoes are ideal for downhill skiing.
Vlk. Avachinsky 2741 m, 1B cat. diff., SE slope, V. Arsenyev, 1923.
It is more convenient to set up a base camp at the boundary of the forest zone. The approach to the cone of the volcano is along the dry riverbed, across wide slag and lava fields, in the direction of the lava flow (1991 eruption) (see photo). When approaching the tongue of the lava flow, caution must be exercised, as there are hidden ice crevasses. The flow is bypassed on the right, and along it, there is a direct ascent to the cone. The exit to the crater rim is made through a small gap where:
- a lava flow emerges,

Characteristics of the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes in Kamchatka, description of the geographical location and the climbing route to Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano.
Characteristics of the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes, geographical location.
The Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes includes the highest volcanoes of Kamchatka and the most powerful glaciers of Erman and Bogdanovich. The most significant volcanoes of the group:
- The highest and most active volcano is Klyuchevskaya Sopka.
- The most technically challenging is the Kamien volcano.
- The largest in terms of glaciation area with a powerful ice dome is Plosky Dalniy (Ushkovsky) volcano. Its crater, with a depth of over 200 m, is filled with ice. Inside the crater, there is an ice cave approximately 1000 m long. The Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes is located in the center of Kamchatka, 500 km from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The nearest settlements are Kozyrevsk and Klyuchi, located 60 and 40 km away. However, there are no roads to the volcanoes even from these settlements. By a high-clearance vehicle, one can only reach the forest zone boundary; beyond that, the journey continues on foot. Approaches to the start of the routes take 2 to 4 days. The only means that allows quick access to the foot of the volcanoes remains the helicopter. Many alpinist routes of 2A–4B category of difficulty have been traversed in this area.
