Climber Andrei Didukh, 64, stands on his hands on top of the rock named "Chetverty Stolb" (Fourth Pillar) at the Stolby (Pillars) national nature reserve in Krasnoyarsk region, Russia. Picturesque rocky blocks rising above the Taiga draw attention of tourists from all over Russia and abroad. Amateur rock-climbing became popular with local residents in the middle of the 19th century and since then more and more Siberians, who were later nicknamed "Stolbists", spent time in the reserve for outdoor sports and tourism. This year marks one hundred years since the Stolby became a protected area.
