- Marjanishvili via the South Ridge (combined route, category II complexity, Fig. 5, 6). From the saddle of the South Ridge of Marjanishvili (route 29) along the ice-and-snow slope on the right side of the South Ridge, reach the first wide ice-and-snow gully of the South Ridge. Here, turn left and, overcoming the bergschrund (protection), ascend the steep ice-and-snow slope of the wide gully (loose rocks, protection) to the left side of the ice crevasse, which is easier to bypass on the left via rocks and slabs (loose rocks, protection). Above the crevasse, traverse to the rocks on the right side of the gully. Along steep, straightforward slabs on the right side of the gully, 30–40 m upwards (loose rocks, protection), reach a small platform on the ridge.
On the platform, turn right and ascend 30 m upwards along straightforward rocks (wall with pitons) to a wide ledge. Further:
- Along gentle slabs
- Along a wide ice-and-snow section with a 10-meter narrow and potentially avalanche-prone (cornices) section of the South Ridge
- Along scree, ascend to the summit of Marjanishvili
From the "Zesho" alpine camp — 5–6 hours.
