Kamchatka - Avachinsky Climb

The first climb of our Kamchatka trip in August 2016; Avachinsky Volcano (2750m). After our arrival in Petropavlosky, the next day we got straight into this initial warm up climb of Avachinsky, a beautiful, active and recently erupting volcano just outside of the main city of Petropavlosky. The last eruption of this stratovolcano was 2008. The climb required a bumpy 1.5hr ride up a washed out river bed in a Kamaz 6x6 driven by the effervescent Sergei and then a fairly stiff 1850m ascent. A leisurely, non-technical walk up climb of 10 hours got us up and down. We were to get used to these bumpy 6x6 rides by the end of the trip spending about 10 hours in such vehicles over the next two weeks.
