Chernyshev Peak
Peak Arkady Chernyshev (3900 m), named in memory of the coach of the BMSTU climbers, is located in the Main Ridge, in the southeastern corner of the Western branch of the Karaugom Plateau, rising above it by 150–200 m.
To the north of the peak, the Eastern summit of the Bokos massif towers, and to the west, there is a low trapezoid of Uvarov Peak.
Chernyshev Peak was conquered by:
- V. Miklashevsky,
- I. Erokhin,
- L. Kalishevsky,
- K. Limarev,
- A. Chernobrovkin,
- V. Feodosiev, and others on August 8, 1946.
- Chernyshev Peak via the North Ridge (combined route, category II complexity, Fig. 20, 30).
The path from the Tsey district KSP or from the village of Dzinaga (a group of 4–20 people) to the initial bivouac on the upper plateau of the Western branch of the Karaugom Plateau, near the Western saddle of the Shovi - Karaugom pass, is described in route 83.
From the initial bivouac (closed crevices) approach the right slope of the North Ridge of Chernyshev Peak across the snowy plateau. Then:
- Ascend a steep 150–200-meter ice-and-snow slope to the middle part of the ice crevice that breaks the slope from left to right upwards;
- Cross the crevice via a snow bridge (possibly requiring piton belay);
- Ascend a steep 80–100-meter ice-and-snow slope (belaying), which gradually becomes less steep and turns into a sharp ridge (cornice);
- Then ascend simple snow-covered rocks to reach Chernyshev Peak.
From the plateau - 2–2.5 hours.
Descent follows the ascent route. Naumov A. F. Karaugom, Digoria, Tsey (Central Caucasus), M., "Fizkultura i sport", 1976.
