Three summits of Layla

1/17/2020

Just as any big mountain (like Monte Rosa in the Alps) Layla has more than one summit.
So which one to choose? Their elevation being almost equal (South 4000m, Central 4008m, North 4001m) makes little difference.
Our goal is to reach the top, also enjoy the views and have an exciting climbing experience.
What DOES make difference is the route we choose. Central and North peaks are climbed most often. Things I always take into consideration:

Weather forecast (each route has different micro weather)
Glacier conditions (some routes are too tricky in bad weather)
Fitness and experience (icy traverse above cliffs is not an option for some people)

My knowledge is based on many years of experience climbing Layla in any possible condition (from June to November) and guiding people of different abilities. You can be sure I will choose the best option for you to enjoy the climb and return to valley unharmed.
And last (but not least) is an aesthetic value of different routes. In terms of views the North summit offers the best of all.

Dear Svanalp, we plan to visit Georgia from the 28th of august to the 5th of september. We have already set to do the trekking from ushguli to mestia, but after this we would like to do a higher mountain as well and layla peak looks perfect for this. My question is that is it possible to do it in 2 days (1 overnight) ? We would already have the reauired acclimatisation. For now we are 2 people but we could be more. How much would this cost for us? Thanks and regards in advance! Barnabas Toth
