In the new year found some kind of lyrical mood and flooded memories. My first acquaintance with the mountains and my first tourist trip, of course, if you can call those. Rather, it was more like a walk. Long I wanted to write about it, but everything was not leisure. By chance, we wandered in the composition of three people (me, my friend and our girlfriend) on Semiglav mountain (1500 m), being without equipment and food, but in rubber slippers 
A little background – in 2005 we lived with a friend all summer in a tent on the river Jean, in the village of Renaissance. Then this place it was completely different, now I could hardly live there for a long time, but This is a separate story. So, we wanted to adventure, not all to sit in one place. And we went wherever they looked, leaving all their belongings with a tent in the Renaissance, taking with them only skins, sleeping bags and a couple of warm clothes (summer is what else need to).
For the quality of the photo I apologize, then we were unknown SLRs, and the film soap box with 36 frames was like the top progress.

First day
We went on the road to catch the car. Trip direction it was outlined only on the way – in the direction of Adygea. By the middle of the day hitchhiking led us to the village of Anastasievka, where they were supposed to located dolmens. Bumping into an apple orchard, we scored a kilo of 5 sour apples, not yet knowing that the next days we will doomed to an apple diet. After all, initially, we just wanted look at the dolmens, then fill up with products in the store and go further in the direction of Adygea. But here we met a group child walkers with an instructor who instead tell us about the location of the dolmens, told us about the close location of Semiglavaya mountain, where our “mobile group” can get just half a day. Only later did we realize that he overestimated our “mobility”.
Lech demonstrates that he not only can carry a backpack, but also me
They did not know about the three days of travel.
What the hell dolmens when here you can conquer a whole top! – we thought, stomping on the dirt road with rubber slippers, went upstairs. Then Semiglavaya mountain seemed to us akin Everest, because in the stone jungles of Moscow, except for escalators in subway to conquer nothing more. When it got dark, they decided to spend the night try at the lumberjacks whose village was on the way since spending the night without a tent, did not want to. We were accepted, treated with compote with black bread, since we abandoned some stewed meat dishes (we already then vegetarians), and even the bed was offered, but the decor inside the house was such that tourist foam was nicer to us. Then I first believed in people who can help themselves having almost nothing.
Second day
There is no limit to joy
Walkers – in spanking and with a pack of apples
To the music, I eat the last cookie
Only by the middle of the next day we went to the alpine meadows to to the desired peak, from where a stunning view would be opened if not clouds However, even what we saw amazed the eye. unprepared Muscovites. Such mountain landscapes see us not yet have ever been. By the way, our “mobile group” constantly lost path and waited for a group of children for another clue. Also retarded our speed picking and eating blackberries, raspberries, cherry plums and other edible products along the way. So to the very top, we came along with a tourist group, no less tired, but satisfied.
At an altitude of 1500 meters – cold
All in the clouds
Occasionally through the gaps you can see what is below
Everything is covered with clouds
There are rocks everywhere.
Instead of just going backwards, we wilt in the next times on the assurances of the conductor that it is easier and faster to descend into another settlement (Big Pseushko), and went further along with the children the ridge. That is why he did not tell us that he will spend the night it is cold at the height, and what to go is totally more? He probably saw in we had more potential and did not know at all what brought us here casual and without equipment, although our beachwear and one small backpack said the opposite.
We go along the ridge to the mountain shelter for the night.
The third day
In the morning, unable to endure hunger and a little embarrassed, we begged the instructor is a half-brick of black bread, which disappeared in an instant, dissolving in the mouth and leaving memories of the most delicious bread on the planet. Apples, by that moment, we just hated, and left a couple of them.
We go along the ridge and look for the path down
Dolmen, ingrown into the ground and slipping into a precipice
Only at the end of the third day, we went to the long-awaited Big Pseushko. This day was full of events: conversations about the meaning of life and our trip, meeting with a snake, on which we are a little stepped, checking the mushrooms for taste and edibility, dip in icy river, huffing and gasping about the majestic beeches, piercing the sky and pushing clouds on their peaks. In big Pseushko we first rushed to the store, but, as it should be in normal villages, it was already closed. Then we turned to locals for milk and gave it to us, refusing to take money. Then the second time I believed in people. And then on the bus in Tuapse, overnight on the beach, Sochi Arboretum—
Instead of Adygea, we went to the arboretum in Sochi
So, with minimal equipment and without food, we went to the mountain Seven-headed and visited at an altitude of 1500 meters. Now that’s all remembered with a laugh about our unpreparedness, however, casts thoughts that there would be a desire, an opportunity will be found. And now this the list of things / cases for the implementation of the trip sometimes arises that you wonder
