- Peak Severo-vostochnyy MNR via North face (route by A. Sevostyanov, 4B category). The path from the "Adzyl-su" alpine camp (group of 4-5 people) to the initial bivouac on the moraine platforms near "Chyornye skaly" (Black Rocks) is described in route 173. From the bivouac near "Chyornye skaly" (departure at 2-3 am) follow the talus and a small snowfield to the simple rocks of the North face of Severo-vostochnyy peak, left of a narrow snow-filled couloir. Ascend the rocky, gradually narrowing, snow-filled couloir. In the couloir, move up and right. Exit the couloir right, under a gendarme tower, which is overcome directly via a 10-meter wall (piton protection!). From the gendarme, rappel into the couloir above the rock plug. Exit the couloir via its left wall into a couloir with a crevice and water. Ascend this couloir onto talus shelves. Follow the shelves and simple rocks 60-70 m up; on the right, a second small gendarme, and on the left, a ridge crest. Then, ascend 180-200 m via moderately difficult rocks to snow-covered slabs. Ascend the slabs up and left (pitons!) onto a platform on the ridge shoulder before the start of a long, snow-filled couloir. Ascend the couloir 70-80 m under a rock plug, which is bypassed on the left (pitons!), and again 60-70 m up the couloir. Then, 45-50 m of difficult rocks, followed by a traverse up and left, exiting onto a ridge platform. From the platform, ascend 50 m up moderately difficult rocks on the ridge, then follow a 60-meter, poorly defined ice-snow couloir to exit onto the heavily broken ridge rocks. Ascend the ridge (pitons!) for 2-3 hours, bypassing numerous small gendarmes on the right or left, and exit onto a sharp 15-meter ridge crest under a 5-meter vertical wall. Ascend the wall directly (belay anchors, pitons!). Beyond it, follow moderately difficult ridge rocks, bypassing a wall in the upper section on the left via a couloir. Ascend the couloir and, after 60 m, exit onto moderately difficult rocks; ascend 30 m onto a gendarme on the summit ridge of Pik Tsentralnyy MNR. From here, traverse left and ascend a simple, broken ridge crest to reach the summit of Pik Severo-vostochnyy MNR. From the initial bivouac near "Chyornye skaly", 12-14 hours. Descent to the Kurmy glacier is described in route 179. Route duration: 3 days. Special equipment for 4 people: main rope - 2x40 m, auxiliary cordelette - 2 m, rock pitons - 10-12, ice pitons - 2, rock hammers - 2, carabiners - 12-15, headlamps - 4, tent - 1. Possible bivouac locations: on all platforms and on the summit. ("Baksanskaya dolina", A.F. Naumov)
