Federation of Alpinism conducts exclusive training program for rockeers in climbing skills
In the heart of Kazakhstan, a training camp at Tuyuk-Su recently played host to a diverse group of participants - alpinists from across the country and city rescue service employees. The camp, located 20 kilometers from the city and a popular spot for active recreation, aimed to equip mountaineers with essential skills and knowledge for conquering the peaks.
However, the camp took a tragic turn when Erman Baibergenov, a determined alpinist, set out to conquer a dangerous peak alone. His decision proved to be fatal, as his body was found two days later in the Kumbelsu gorge.
In an interview, Damir Molgachev, Deputy Chief of the City Rescue Service, emphasised the dangers of going alone on a dangerous route, especially during winter. He warned that mountains do not forgive mistakes, and inexperienced alpinists should not rush to conquer an attractive peak.
Erman Baibergenov's tragic end served as a stark reminder to all. Before his last expedition, he was trained by experienced mountaineers and local guides at the Tuyuk-Su camp. Despite this, it seems his preparation may not have met the demands of the route he attempted.
The camp, organised by the city's alpine federation, offers 10-day courses where mountain enthusiasts learn safety techniques, navigate complex routes, and practice rescues. Vitaly Zhdannov, an instructor at the camp, noted that people often underestimate their physical abilities when they attempt difficult ascents.
Erman Baibergenov's condition stabilised after his ordeal, but he has not given up on climbing after his injury. Artem Skopenko, president of the city's alpine federation, stated that there's a debrief of the ascent to identify any mistakes. This debriefing is crucial for learning from the past and ensuring future safety for all climbers.
City rescue service employees also offer valuable advice to beginner alpinists, given the recent increase in mountain accidents. It's important for inexperienced alpinists to choose a route that suits their abilities and to master safety techniques. Going alone on a dangerous route is not worth the risk, and the mountains can be unforgiving.
As the mountaineering community mourns the loss of Erman Baibergenov, they are reminded of the importance of safety training and the dangers that lurk in the mountains. The Tuyuk-Su camp continues to train and equip climbers, ensuring they are well-prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
