From the cushion, traverse 300–400 m up-left along the steep ice-snow slope and, crossing ice gutters (avalanches, stones), smoothed rocky outcrops, rock outcrops, reach the sites of the East ridge under the III ascent of Chatyn. Bivouac. From the plateau 3–5 hours.

From the site, along the snow-covered shelf 20–30 m to the left and from it 60–70 m up — to the right along rocks of medium difficulty to the Left edge of the III ascent. Along the difficult walls of the Left edge 60–70 m up (ITO, l). Then traverse to the right to cross through the couloir to the Right edge and along the difficult walls (ITO, l), steep slabs of the Right edge rise 100–120 m to the site under the Red wall. From the site 70–80 m up to the snow ridge and along it to reach the III ascent. From the ascent, descend along the snow ridge with a rappel of 30 m to a sharp snow-covered (cornice) 10-meter bridge. From the site under the ascent 10–12 hours. Further p. 229.
