Реферат: Since 1975, the caver club, founded at Novosibirsk State University, has conducted a non-standard method for training cavers. Serious climbing training and technical mountaineering amid intensive general physical training led to the discovery of large cave systems in Altai and Sayan mountains.
Overcoming high walls in caves from bottom to top using free climbing and artificial support points from technical mountaineering was mandatory. Climbing skills allowed us to explore the plateau at high altitudes on the Zeravshansky (Mount Patrush) and Gissarsky (Khoja-Akhcha-Barun) ridges, as well as pseudo-karst in the vicinity of the Khan-Tengri, Kilimanjaro, Aconkagua peaks in combination with geological observations and exploration. For all types of activities (caving, mountaineering, geology), the philosophical aspects of fair play in sports were an integral
part of our lives.
