240. Bodorku Western — Eastern

(combined route, 2A cat. of difficulty, fig. 18, 28). The path from the Bashil tourist center (group 4–50 people) to the upper plateau of the Eastern branch of the Bashil glacier is described in route 236. Across the plateau (closed crevasses), bypassing the broken part of the Eastern branch on the right, approach the broken ice-and-snow western slope of the Northern ridge of the Bodorku massif. From the glacier, first ascend along the center of the gently sloping ice-and-snow western slope in the direction of the snowy summit dome of Bodorku. Then, above the lower crevasses and ice falls, ascend upwards — to the left in the direction of the saddle of the Northern ridge. Bypassing numerous crevasses, the ascent along the ice-and-snow slope to the saddle of the Northern ridge — the Bodorku pass. The path to the Bodorku pass from the Chegem tourist center is described in route 241.

On the saddle (when ascending via Bashil glacier), turn right and move along the wide, gently sloping ice-and-snow Northern ridge (cornices on the left); bypass rocky sections via ice-and-snow couloirs on the right. Having traversed an ice crevasse via a snow bridge, ascend a steep ice-and-snow slope to the ice dome of the Bodorku Western summit. From the pass — 1.5–2 hours.

From the Western summit, descend along the gently sloping easy, местами острому, сильно разрушенному и заснеженному скальному (rocky, presumably) Southeastern ridge to the saddle (cornice). From the saddle, ascend along the steep, острому, сильно разрушенному и заснеженному rise (cornices, protection required) of the Northwestern ridge to the shoulder. From the shoulder, ascend along the simple, snow-covered, gently sloping Northwestern ridge to the summit of Bodorku Eastern. From the Western summit — 3–4 hours.
