The path from the CSP of Tsey area or from the village Dzhinaga (group of 4-20 people) to the saddle of Uilpatinsky Pass with initial bivouacs on the platforms of the Western Ridge of Bivouachnaya Peak or in the hut of the Southern branch of Tsey Glacier is described in the routes:

On the pass, turn right (when ascending from the Karaugom plateau) and along the gently sloping snowy slope of the saddle (left - cornices) reach the rocks of the North Ridge of Peak TsDSA. Further, along the relatively simple ("live" rocks - insurance) rocks of the heavily dissected, destroyed, and snow-covered North Ridge, reach the snowy section. Along the gently sloping snowy slope on the right side of the North Ridge (left - large cornices), then along an 80-90-meter ice-snow ascent (insurance), and further along the simple snow-covered rocks of the North Ridge - ascent to Peak TsDSA. From the pass, 1.5-2 hours.
