- Kaltberg (4120 m) via the Eastern slope and Northern ridge (combined route, 2A category of difficulty, Fig. 35).
The path from the CSP of the Tsey district (group of 4–12 people) to the initial bivouac at the Skazskie nochyovki is described in route 166.
On the platforms, turn right and exit to the snowy plateau via the destroyed rocky moraine - the slope above the hanging glacier's drop-offs, descending east from the Northern ridge of the Kaltberg peak. Move right-up along the slope - plateau (stonefall is possible from the left). Then, having crossed the bergschrund via a snowy bridge, ascend the steep 180–200-meter ice-snow slope (belay) to the Northern ridge of Kaltberg.
Here, turn left. Further:
- Ascend 90 m via simple rocks, then via a gently sloping ice-snow slope of the wide Northern ridge (belay) below the rocks of the Big gendarme.
- Ascend to the Big gendarme's summit via a talus shelf and then via steep rocks of the Northern ridge.
- From the gendarme, make a 15-meter sports descent to a snowy saddle.
- Then, ascend the short, narrow, and destroyed 30-meter rocky slope of the Northern ridge to the Kaltberg summit.
From the initial bivouac, it takes 5–6 hours.
Descend via the ascent route. The route duration is 2 days.
