Mars

Climbing "Mars" in Bajkonur offers a unique and surreal experience. This Grade 3 climb, while not overly technical, presents a captivating challenge. The arid landscape surrounding Bajkonur, often associated with space exploration, provides a stark and almost Martian backdrop to the ascent. The rock itself may be weathered and require careful footwork. The feeling of climbing so close to the launch site, knowing the history of human endeavors towards the cosmos, is truly inspiring. While the climb is relatively short, the atmosphere makes it a memorable and worthwhile adventure. The view from the top, overlooking the vast Kazakh steppe and the iconic Baikonur Cosmodrome, is simply breathtaking.
