- Marjanishvili via Western ridge (combined route, category of difficulty 2B, fig. 5, 6). At the pass (m. 37) turn right and go along the snowy slope, then along easy rocks to approach the Big Gendarme of the Western ridge of Marjanishvili. Steep easy rocks («loose» stones, pitons) provide 30–40 m ascent to the gendarme (cairn). From the gendarme a 35–40 m sport rappel descent follows to the saddle of the Western ridge. Further 80–100 m along easy, broken rocks of the Western ridge lead below a 15–18 m rock-step; overcome it along the slabs on the right side of the Western ridge. Further, along easy rocks, a 5–6 m snowy ascent, and talus of the Western ridge lead to the summit of Marjanishvili. 5–6 hours from the "Zeskho" alp-lager.
