II. Climbing Description
1. Characteristics of the Climbing Object
The Dolomites are a rocky massif located in the northern spurs of the Main Caucasian Range. The name was given by the first ascender to the North peak, B. N. Delaunay, due to the external similarity of the massif to the Italian Dolomites. There are many interesting and popular routes here, mostly of a rocky nature.
The group of peaks known as the Dolomites is consistently popular among mountaineers in the Uzunkol region. 11 routes have been laid out to the peaks of the massif (including traverses), 10 of which are classified. The routes are characterized by very difficult climbing (for their category of difficulty), but are not long, and ascents typically take no more than 6-10 hours.

3. Characteristics of the Team's Actions
Approach: from the base camp on the Stlanikovaya River opposite Admiral Makarov peak to the start of the route via animal paths takes 2 hours. Climb towards Kart peak, veering left from the hill. Pass the lake and approach the bastion. The starting point of the route is marked by slabs with black streaks.
| Section | Description | Photo Number |
|---|---|---|
| R0–R1 Н/К 300 м | Along a wide scree couloir to a place where you can climb up simple rocks to the right, under the base of a wide internal corner "Книга" or "Book" (landmark for the lower part of the route). In June-July, there may be snow in the couloir. | 1 |
| R1–R2 3 30 м 45° | Climb up simple rocks to a wide scree terrace under "Книга". | 1 |
| R2–R3 5 40 м 70° | Up the left "page of the Book". After about 20 m, move to the right and exit onto a ledge under a large plug wedged in the upper part of the internal corner "Книга". | 2,3 |
| R3–R4 1–2 120 м | From the plug, climb up to the left onto a wide scree ledge and along it for about 80 m until a logical ascent to the right to the base of a large inclined internal corner, under the cliffs of the Western wall. | |
| R4–R5 5 35 м 70° | From the base of the large internal corner, climb up through a crack under a belt of overhanging rocks. | 4,5 |
| R5–R6 6 40 м 70°–90° | First key rope of the route. From the belay station, climb up through the internal corner via cornices (8 m, 6, 90°). Then, via a system of cracks, to a flake (15 m, 5, 80°). Through the flake, exit onto a flattening (5 m, 6, 80°) and climb up via simpler terrain to the edge of the Western wall. | 6,7 |
| R6–R7 4–5 40 м 70° | From the belay station, climb up through a crack and internal corner along the edge of the Western wall, beyond a bend, onto a small ledge. | 8 |
| R7–R8 3 70 м 50° | From the ledge, climb up along the edge of the Western wall under a steep wall, then traverse along a ledge to the left. To the next wide ledge with large blocks. | 9 |
| R8–R9 1–2 50 м | Along the wide ledge with large blocks to the right, to the edge of the Western wall. | 10 |
| R9–R10 5 30 м 80° | Second key rope of the route. On the left side of the edge of the Western wall, through a small internal corner, exit onto a monolithic slab. | 11 |
| R10–R11 4 40 м 50° | Up the slab and then along the rocks of the ridge for about 20 m. Then, climb up onto the ridge. | 12,13 |
| R11–R12 2–3 300 м | Continue moving first to the left, then to the right along the rocks of the ridge to the peak. | 14,15 |
