1. Adyr­su via the North­ern counterfort of the West­ern edge (combined route by Yu. Kuz­netsov, 3B cat. diff., fig. 5, 6). The path from the “Ullu­tau” al­plager (group of 4–8 people) to the upper pla­teau of the Se­ver­ny Adyr­su gla­cier with the initial bi­vouac on the left-bank mo­re­ne of the Se­ver­ny Adyr­su gla­cier is de­scri­bed in route 43. In the upper part of the cir­que, cross the Se­ver­ny Adyr­su gla­cier (clo­sed cre­vasses) and ap­proach un­der the slope of the ice-and-snow cou­loir on the left side —

at the base of the North­ern counterfort of the West­ern edge of Adyr­su peak. From the initial bi­vouac, 1.5–2 hours.

From the gla­cier, after pas­sing the berg­schrund:

  • 40 m up steep easy rocks on the right side of the ice-and-snow cou­loir,
  • then tra­verse 40 m up — left through this cou­loir,
  • fur­ther up snow-cov­ered rocks to the in­ner an­gle.

From here, as­cend 40 m to the right up snow-cov­ered rocks of me­dium dif­fi­cul­ty onto the North­ern counterfort.

Along a gen­tly slo­ping easy ice-and-snow slope (pro­tec­tion), then up steep snow-cov­ered mono­li­thic rocks of me­dium dif­fi­cul­ty (pit­on pro­tec­tion) and again up a steep ice-and-snow (pro­tec­tion) North­ern counterfort, as­cend 150–160 m un­der the take-off of the West­ern edge.

Along the left side of the steep ice-and-snow cou­loir and de­stroyed snow-cov­ered steep rocks of me­dium dif­fi­cul­ty of the in­ner an­gle, as­cend 120–130 m (pit­on pro­tec­tion) onto the West­ern edge.

Here, turn left and along snow-cov­ered easy, some­times steep, me­dium dif­fi­cul­ty mono­li­thic rocks of the West­ern edge, as­cend 250–300 m, over­com­ing gen­darmes and walls head-on (pit­on pro­tec­tion), onto the ice-and-snow dome of the peak. Along an easy gen­tly slo­ping ice-and-snow 400-me­ter slope of the West­ern edge, as­cend to the Adyr­su peak. From the Se­ver­ny Adyr­su gla­cier, 7–9 hours.
