უშბა — ორთავიანი მწვერვალი საქართველოში, მესტიის მუნიციპალიტეტში, სვანეთის კავკასიონზე. მდებარეობს იალბუზის სამხრეთ-აღმოსავლეთით, კავკასიონის მთავარი წყალგამყოფი ქედის პატარა შტოზე. აქვს სამხრეთი და ჩრდილოეთი მწვერვალები. სამხრეთი მწვერვალი უმაღლესია (სიმაღლე 4700 მ), ჩრდილოეთი – 10 მეტრით დაბალია. აგებულია პალეოზოური გრანიტებითა და კრისტალური ფიქლებით. დამახასიათებელია ნივალური ლანდშაფტი. უშბის მწვერვალები თავიანთი განუმეორებელი სილამაზითა და მიუდგომლობით იზიდავს მრავალ მთასვლელსა და ტურისტს. უშბის ფერდობებიდან ეშვება მყინვარები: გულის, უშბის. განვითარებულია ალპინიზმი. ჩრდილოეთი მწვერვალი უფრო ადვილი გადასალახია ვიდრე სამხრეთი. ჩრდილოეთ პიკზე პირველად ავიდნენ ინგლისელები 1888 წელს, ხოლო სამხრეთ პიკზე პირველი ასვლა განხორციელდა 1903 წელს, გერმანელი, შვეიცარიელი და ავსტრიელი ალპინისტების მიერ. მანამდე უშბაზე იყო დაახლოებით 20-მდე წარუმატებელი ასვლის ცდა. პირველი საბჭოთა ასვლა განხორციელდა 1934 წელს ალექსანდრე ჯაფარიძის ხელმძღვანელობით. ლონდონში არის ალპინისტთა კლუბი „უშბა“. Ushba (Georgian: უშბა) is one of the most notable peaks of the Caucasus Mountains. It is located in the Svaneti region of Georgia, just south of the border with the Kabardino-Balkaria region of Russia. Although it does not rank in the 10 highest peaks of the range, Ushba is known as the "Matterhorn of the Caucasus" for its picturesque, spire-shaped double summit. Due to its steep profile and unstable weather[citation needed], Ushba is considered by many climbers as the most difficult ascent in the Caucasus. Ushba's south summit is slightly higher than its north summit, which has an elevation of 4,690 m (15,387 ft). The north summit was first climbed in 1888 by John Garford Cokklin and Ulrich Almer, while the south summit saw its first ascent in 1903 by a German-Swiss-Austrian expedition led by B. Rickmer-Rickmers.[1] Ushba's north summit is more accessible than the south summit: the standard route, the Northeast Ridge, ascends from the Russian side of the range to a high plateau and thence to the summit. (Hence a summit ascent on this route technically involves crossing the border.) The route is graded French AD+ or Russian 4a. Routes on the south summit, from the Georgian side, include two routes graded French ED.[1] In August 2012, thunderstorms made the ascent of Ushba treacherous. One climber died and another, Andranik Miribyan, was stuck near the summit for four days after becoming trapped on a ledge by heavy snowfall. Due to high winds, rescuers were unable to reach him by helicopter and Andranik made the decision to descend the mountain, despite having no ice axe after his broke while clearing snow. Russian folk-rock band "Melnitsa" has a song "Ushba" on their fourth album. It is dedicated to the Georgian climber, a friend of one of them, who died on...

One of beautiest thing I have seen in my life. So I went twice to this country specially to this place spending more than 20 hours of traveling in the land. If you go to Mestia from Zugdidi the road to ushba is on the left around 10 / 15 km before Mestia town. I stayed at the village below the mountain and had a hike in summer and as well as in a different winter. I would say winter is very hard there, as a person coming from Asia it was really hard for me to perform at that weather. But the feeling of summer is unforgettable. There are plenty of Guest house that offers accommodation around 40-50 lari per night including one meal. I stayed at the same place both the time because the house has an amazing view plus the people are very friendly. I walked out in the day time and the reason is too beautiful to describe. And the hiking road is very easy you just have to walk in the road facing the mountain and it will start the tracking route whence you finished the road. You will pass a small river and that's where you will start your tracking line. It's not very hard to reach the glacier if it's the summer. Alos there is lot of people coming as tourists during this time so no worries even you had some difficulties. You will not miss the road because it's that clear and as long as you walk you wills still see the mountain on the top of your head. It's considered as one of hardest mountain in Europe to climb the summit. Because it's looking very sharp. There is a story of Georgin group who went had a trouble and few of their friends die. And later on that story become a song and people over here still sing this song when they...
