Tsey
The summit of Tsey (4140 m) is located in the northeastern part of the Tsey ridge, between the massif of Malaya Songuti to the east and (beyond the group of Uktyre rocks and Rodina pass) the summit of Turkhokh to the west. Tsey is technically simple, heavily destroyed, and therefore rarely visited by climbers.
- Tsey via the West Ridge, 1B cat. dif. (F. Zauberer, I. Antonovich, A. Zolotarev, P. Kurilov, August 17, 1934).
The path from the Tsey region's KSP (group of 4-8 people) to the Rodina pass with a starting bivouac on the scree under the Rodina glacier is described in routes 83 and 153.
At the pass, turn right and reach the West Ridge of the Tsey summit. From here:
- up the simple rocks on the left side of the ridge;
- then traverse to the left via simple, not heavily destroyed rocks around the group of Uktyre rocks and exit onto the West Ridge;
- it is safer to pass the Uktyre rocks along the ridge;
- then ascend simple snow-covered rocks to the summit of Tsey.
From the starting bivouac, 5-6 hours.
Descent is via the ascent route. Naumov A. F. Karaugom, Digoria, Tsey (Central Caucasus),
