DGPS Survey of Shkara
On 30 June we started climbing the route. The route difficulties are (UIAA) grade 2-3 rock and 40-50° snow, with occasional difficulties of UIAA grade 4 rock and 55˚ snow. We summited in the morning of 3 July 2010. Boris collected rock samples from the highest rock outcrop, and I collected GPS data for 49 minutes. A longer observation period was not possible due to an approaching storm. The descent via the same route and the walk back to Ushguli took two long days. I skied most snow-covered sections of the route, up to 55˚. Many sections required rappels.
Results of the survey:
The survey shows that Shkhara is 5193 m +/-1 m high and the third-highest mountain in Europe after Elbrus (5642 m) and Dych-Tau (5204 m). It also confirms that Shkhara is the highest mountain in the Republic of Georgia. The elevation of the summit will vary with the thickness of the snow/ice cover near the summit.
