- Ullutau Vostochnaya via the East Ridge (combined route, E. Emelyanova, category 3B complexity, fig. 24, 30).
Follow the snowy slope of the Mestian pass saddle (point 199) to the base of the East Ridge of the Ullutau massif. From the plateau, cross the bergschrund via a snow bridge to reach the East Ridge of the massif. Along the boundary between rocks and snow of the straightforward East Ridge, approach the "saw". Traverse the destroyed, easy to moderately difficult rocks of the "saw" with 4 gendarmes, then follow a snowy saddle ("live" rocks, protection), and continue along the straightforward, gentle, long, and occasionally sharp snowy (cornices) East Ridge to the snow dome.
From the dome, make a straightforward, gentle descent along the broad, snow-covered rocky East Ridge to a saddle (cornice). From the saddle, a steep ascent follows up rocks alternating with sharp snowy ridges to the "Vzlet" gendarme, and from it along the straightforward, sharp, snow-covered (cornice) East Ridge.
Continue along the ridge with small gendarmes of the second "saw" to the "Ogurtsy" gendarmes. Bypass "Ogurtsy" on the left via steep, destroyed rocks of moderate to above-moderate difficulty (protection) and rise up a couloir to a broad snowy saddle on the East Ridge below the rocky wall of the East shoulder. The saddle is a bivouac site. From the Mestian pass, 4–8 hours.
From the saddle:
- Ascend 40 m up rocks of moderate difficulty on the left side of the wall;
- continue up the slope-couloir on the left side, traversing to the ridge of the East shoulder;
- follow straightforward, snow-covered rocks on the left side of the ridge to the East shoulder;
- from the shoulder, make a straightforward descent to a saddle (cornice);
- cross the saddle along the ice-snow ridge, then follow the slope and straightforward rocks to ascend to the summit of Ullutau Vostochnaya.
From the bivouac site, 3–4 hours.
