- Traverse of MNR peaks from Northeast to Southwest (T. Rozhdestvensky's route, category III). The path from the "Adylsu" alpine camp to the peak of Northeast MNR is described in route 179. From the Northeast peak, descend down to the Central peak along simple, destroyed rocks of the sharp ridge and a 3-meter plate to a small ridge. Then, proceed along simple and moderately difficult rocks of the ridge; pass the gendarme directly, and descend to a platform. From the platform, make a 30-meter rappel to a saddle under the gendarme of the ridge between the Northeast and Central peaks. From the saddle, descend 6-10 meters to the left along the large scree of the couloir, then along ledges (belay!) bypass the gendarmes on the left, exit to the ice-snow couloir under the eastern wall of the Central peak, and through it to a separate rock under the rock ascent of the Central peak. From the rock, descend to the left along the ice-snow couloir to a small vertical chimney filled with stones, and ascend it to a shelf on the southern meta of the dike. Along the shelf, make a 10-12-meter traverse of the southern wall. Then, ascend 35-40 meters straight up along slabs and rocks of moderate difficulty ("live" stones, belay!) to a saddle on the ridge, and along simple rocks of the couloir on the left side of the ridge, ascend to the 1st gendarme of the summit ridge of the Central peak. On the gendarme, there is a control point. The second variant of the ascent to the peak is via the North wall. Ascend along the couloir to a saddle, and along rocks of moderate difficulty - up and to the right, bypassing overhanging rocks along a shelf on the right (belay!). From the shelf, ascend 20 meters up along rocks of moderate difficulty to a slab; along it, 25 meters up and to the left, exiting to the ridge, and along simple, destroyed rocks of the ridge, ascend to the 1st gendarme of the summit ridge of the Central peak. From the 1st gendarme on the summit ridge - along rocks of moderate difficulty. Bypass the 2nd and 3rd gendarmes on the right, the 4th - on the left, and the 5th - directly along the ridge and a 40-meter, moderately difficult rock ascent (belay!) to reach the Central peak. From the Central peak, descend along simple, heavily destroyed, initially gentle, and then steep rocks of the ridge or along its left side - to a saddle under the gendarme of the ridge between the Central and Southwest peaks. Bypass the gendarme on the left with a descent along the couloir and then ascend behind it to platforms on the saddle under the rock ascent of the Southwest peak. From the Central peak, it takes 1 hour. From the saddle, exit to the right (northern) side of the Northern rock rib of the Southwest peak, bypass it on the right side along the ice-snow slope-couloir or rock shelf to the throat of the couloir. Having crossed it, ascend along rocks of moderate difficulty to a slanting 10-12-meter chimney on the right. From the chimney, 25 meters up and to the right along rocks of moderate difficulty (belay!) to a "rusty" slab with a crevice. Along the slab, up and to the right (pitched belay!) under an overhanging rock, then along internal corners of a 4-5-meter slab and simple rocks, ascend to the summit ridge of the Southwest peak. From here, to the right and along simple rocks of the sharp 60-meter ridge with a small dip and a 4-5-meter wall, ascend to the peak. From the saddle between the Central and Southwest peaks, it takes 4-5 hours. From the Southwest peak, descend along simple rocks of the Southwest ridge to a large platform on the left side of the ridge and from it make a 30-meter rappel to a saddle on the ridge of the "saw" under the 1st small gendarme. From here, 50 meters straight down along a narrow scree couloir, then traverse out of it to the right along slabs, exiting to the main wide couloir and descend along it to the Kurmy glacier. From the Southwest peak, it takes 3-3.5 hours. The duration of the route is 3 days. Special equipment for 4 people: main rope - 2×30 meters, expendable cordelette - 5 meters, rock pitons - 6-8, ice pitons - 2, rock hammers - 2, carabiners - 10, tent - 1. Possible bivouac sites - on all platforms along the route. "Baksan Valley", A.F. Naumov
