Route Description: Мачомбо
SSummitMateThe new route "Machombo" (6A, VI, A3, 335 m) on Morcheka, first ascent by Alexander Lavrynenko and Vladimir Mogila in January 2002.
Morcheka — 13
Author: Alexander Lavrinenko («Odessit»), Odessa «Machombo» (6А, VI, A3, 335 m)
or Morcheka 2002
At the end of January, Volodya Mogila and I completed the route through the center of Morcheka that we had started at the end of November. In November, bad weather and various life difficulties hindered our plans, and we were only able to return under the mountain on January 15.
The idea of the route underwent changes during the preparation for the ascent:
- The initial plan was to follow the Bodnik route, taking a shortcut through a monolithic, overhanging slab («belly») in its lower part.
- Then we decided to try to straighten out the 2nd rope of the route.
- After completing the 1st rope according to Bodnik, we decided that the route should have its own beginning, and we managed to achieve that too.
- An independent exit to the summit was a natural progression.
