Climbing route description to Gerta-bashi peak (4200 m) from Ullu-Auz glacier — Category 1B

From the overnight stay on the moraine, ascend via grassy slopes and scree, then left to bypass the ridge descending from the Dumala-Tau massif, and following the Dumala-Tau slopes along the glacier and snowfields — ascent to the middle plateau of the Ullu-Auz glacier. Then, via snowy slopes upwards, in the direction of the central rocky outcrop under Mira peak (above the outcrop are icefalls) to a snowy ledge-slope above the icefalls. Along the snowy ledge-slope above the icefalls 400–500 m leftwards upwards under Mira peak slopes (prone to avalanches and icefall) to ascend to Trud pass plateau. From the overnight stay — 5–6 hours. From the pass, leftwards via snowfields, slopes, and simple rocks to reach Gerta-bashi peak. Descent via the ascent route takes 2–3 hours.
