We run this program at Butakovskiy waterfall. It is a picturesque climbing location near Almaty, about 1.5–2 hours from the city. The approach is easy and follows a clear footpath, which makes it convenient for a one-day program.
The climbing is on granite and offers a good overall experience for beginners. In summer, we use this area for rock climbing when it becomes too hot in the steppe. There are 30 sport climbing routes, from 5c to 8a.
In winter and spring, the waterfall freezes and becomes one of the main locations near Almaty for ice climbing, mixed climbing and drytooling. There are also 15 bolted drytooling routes up to D9, usually climbable from autumn to spring.
