Itinerary description
Duration: 3 days.
Difficulty level: Due to quick altitude gain very heavy hike with some safety rope section requirement on the short section.
Day 1 (Distance/Time: ??? / 6 h)
The route starts from car pitch near north of Utsera village 1020m above sea level. 3 min from there is a nice spot to swim in the river. Beginning of the road goes via old truck road. Later it wanishes off and just simple track is available. A lot of high grass with insects. In the middle of the day 1 path there is small campsite with water nearby. Day 1 ends at the 2150m campsite with stream water nearby.
Day 2 (Distance: ..../ 9 h)
From the campsite move up to the North West and keep on gaining altitude. Few places to fill up water from melting snow possible. By gaining altitude you will reach cliff with dead end. There is few nice places to set campsite there. Check for exit point at the south of the pass (FOTO). If time is enough you can try to complete dangarous path and set a camp on the Shoda Pass. Trying to reach Shoda mountain top durring next day.
Day 3 (Distance: ..../ 13 h)
At 3200m visibility to dangerous section is visible. (FOTO) Group of 9 people used 3 /4 camalots and 60meter rope. Helmet, harness, safety loops needed. From peak heading to the south west to reach pass where Shoda mountain south side is visible.
A lot of falling rocks and steep going downhill you will lead you to the Ghebi. Trail has some color marking from Shoda pass White blue(yellow)White.
Note:
The trail is attributed to the difficult level and requires good physical conditions and hiking skills to cover the whole distance. There are dangerous and rock climbing sections on the path. You can find several springs on the trail and many mountainous streams. If needed reach me out on the can consult. augutis [EETTA] gi meil dot comm :)
