Climbing in Bektau
Kazakhstan · Granite · TRAD · Crack climbing · Bouldering
Bektau is one of the most distinctive granite climbing areas in Kazakhstan, known for crack climbing, TRAD routes, bouldering and surreal desert landscapes.
The area combines compact granite walls, unusual rock formations, natural protection and a quiet remote atmosphere, making it a unique destination for climbers looking beyond standard sport climbing areas.

NewClimb in Bektau
Since Bektau was opened for climbing in 2023, NewClimb has made around five trips there every year for climbing camps, TRAD practice and route development.
Konstantin Markevich, founder of NewClimb, has established around half of Bektau’s existing TRAD routes. This hands-on work gives our team deep local knowledge of the area — from established lines to hidden routes, quiet sectors and small details that are easy to miss on a first visit.
