  1. Nenskra via the North Face (combined route, A. Snesareva, category 4A, fig. 32, 44). From the initial bivouac on the snowy plateau of the Nenskra Glacier under the North Face of Nenskra Peak, ascend via an avalanche couloir, then via easy and moderately difficult rocks, interspersed with snowy slopes and small walls (loose rocks), to the Upper Rock Belt. From here, via steep, heavily broken rocks of above average difficulty, ascend to the Upper Rock Island. Then, via a steep ice-snow slope with rock outcrops, ascend to the col on the ridge between the Southwest and Northeast summits of Nenskra. From the glacier plateau, 7–8 hours.

From the col, turn right and ascend via easy rocks of the ridge's spur to the summit of Nenskra Southwest. Descend to the col via the ascent route. From the col, via monolithic easy and moderately difficult rocks of the ascent, then along the long West Ridge, ascend to the summit of Nenskra Northeast.

From the Northeast summit, descend via heavily broken easy and moderately difficult rocks of the Northeast Ridge to the col under the Big Gendarme. Overcome the Gendarme head-on via easy rocks of the ridge, then via a rappel and a sport descent to the saddle under the snowy shoulder. From the saddle, via an easy snow-covered rocky ridge, exit onto the snowy shoulder. From the shoulder, via a gentle snow-covered rocky ridge, descend to the snowy plateau under the nameless pass of the Main Caucasian Range. From the Southwest summit, 5–7 hours.

  1. Kuarmash via the Southeast Ridge (rock route, category 2A, fig. 32, 44). From the South Shelter "Nakra" upwards along the trail of Nakra valley. Under Donguz-Orun Pass, turn left from the trail (to the southwest) and ascend to the площадки of the shoulder on the northeast slope of Kuarmash Peak. From the shoulder, cross upwards-left the snowy slope and exit onto the rocks of the Northeast counterfort of the Southeast Ridge of Kuarmash Peak.

Via easy rocks of the Northeast counterfort, bypassing the wall on the left, ascend to the Southeast Ridge. Here, turn right and via gentle snow-covered rocks of the Southeast Ridge, ascend to the summit of Kuarmash. From the trail of Nakra valley — 3-4 hours.
