- Chyornaia Neznakomka via South Ridge (combined route, L. Akhvlediani, cat. 4A, fig. 5, 9). Before the Moraine Platforms (point 41), turn left into a grassy, scree slope-couloir. From here, go straight up for 700–800 m along a broad scree couloir that sharply narrows at the top. From the couloir, ascend a snow-ice slope, then climb rocks of medium difficulty to reach the South Ridge of Chyornaia Neznakomka peak. Turn right here and follow easy rocks with short ascents along the South Ridge to reach some platforms. Make your base camp on the platforms. The trip from the "Zesho" alpine camp takes 5–7 hours. From the platforms, ascend 60–80 m along easy, broken rocks, then along the snowy South Ridge to a small 1st gendarme; bypass it via snowy scree, and then continue along the easy South Ridge to the 2nd gendarme. Traverse 80–100 m to the right of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pointed triangular rock gendarmes along the steep, snowy-icy slope of the Left couloir (loose rocks, pitons), and then ascend a 4–5-meter wall with a cleft to reach the South Ridge. Climb 40 m along rocks of medium difficulty on the South Ridge to a large triangular wall. Below the wall, turn right and then ascend 150–200 m up a snowy-icy couloir under the cover of the wall (loose rocks) to the right rock wall. Climb rocks of medium difficulty (loose rocks, pitons) 30–40 m up the wall to a shoulder. Turn left here and ascend 150–200 m up a broad, snowy-icy couloir (belays) to a saddle on the West Ridge. On the saddle, turn right and follow an easy 100–120-meter, snowy-icy (cornice) West Ridge to the summit of Chyornaia Neznakomka. The trip from the base camp takes 4–5 hours.
