Pushkin

The third one in Top 7 Highest Mountains in Russia that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Pushkin. Pushkin, also known as Pushkin Peak, is Russia's third tallest mountain, standing 5,108 meters (16,758 feet) tall. Pushkin is located on the border of Georgia and Russia. The Pushkin Peak is located in the mountain massif of Dykh-Tau in the Bezengi Region of the Caucasus Mountain Range's central area. Pushkin Peak was first summited in 1961 by a Russian Spartak club team led by B. Kletsko.

Pushkin peak is located in the Dykh-Tau mountain massif which is between East Dykh-Tau and Borovikov peak. A subtle ridge runs north from the summit of Borovikov Peak. It was climbed by the "Spartak" team, led by Kletsko, in 1961. (3rd place in the championship of the USSR). From Borovikov peak to West Mizhirgi, the Kletsko route descended to the left. Climb the ridge up to the cofferdam beneath Borovikov peak and then traverse up to Pushkin peak via the Dykh-Tau massif's ridge. Another route on Pushkin 5B-graded paved by Kudinov in 1972 (4th place in the USSR championship) takes place more to the right. It travels on an avalanche-prone hanging glacier and is perilous due to ice collapses from the top hanging glacier.
