Having entered the Kyrtyk gorge, immediately turn left onto the trail and ascend along the first stream — the Syltransu river — through the pine forest and further across alpine meadows, after which the trail ends. From here, ascend along the talus and moraines by the river towards the Syltrangel lake. At the south-eastern (left) bank of the lake is the initial bivouac. From the village Verkhniy Baksan 4.5–5.5 hrs. From the lake, ascend along the talus, then along the glacier to the saddle between the peaks of Syltran on the left and Mukal on the right. From the saddle, turn right and ascend along the snowy slope to the large gendarme of the Eastern ridge of the Mukal summit. Bypass the gendarme along the snowy slope on the right and then along the snowy ridge-slope, then ascend along simple rocks to the summit of Mukal. From the saddle, about 1 hr. Descent follows the ascent route. Duration of the route is 2 days. “Baksanskaya dolina”, A.F. Naumov
