Кеzgen
- Кеzgen via the North-Eastern Ridge (route by S. Golubev, M. Galkin, M. Zaydler, A. Kuchar, P. Panyutin, N. Stainoglou, V. Shteyn, 1B category of difficulty, August 20, 1914).
The path from the settlement of Verkhniy Baksan to the snowy cirque formed by the peaks of Kubasanty, Kezgen, and Mukal, via the peak of Mukal, is described in route 22. Further:
- From the peak of Mukal, descend left down the snowy slope, then along the simple rocky Western ridge.
- Bypassing several rocky gendarmes of the ridge, descend along the snowy couloir into the indicated snowy cirque.
- Cross the cirque plateau to the col of the ridge between the peaks of Mukal (right) and Kezgen (left).
- From the plateau, ascend the snowy slope to the col.
- From the col, turn left and ascend the steep, narrow snowy ridge (cornices!) to the scree shoulder.
- From the shoulder, make a short, simple descent to the connecting ridge.
- From there, ascend the simple but steep and snowy rocky ridge to the summit of Kezgen.
From the col to the summit takes 1–1.5 hours. Descend via the ascent route or along the scree couloirs and slopes into the Irikachat gorge. The duration of the route is 2 days. "Baksan Valley" by A. F. Naumov
