Explanation of the Diagram

It is recommended to set up a base camp near the "Sulak-high-mountain" weather station. The approach to the weather station is described in the book "Alpinism in Dagestan" — Makhachkala, 1986. From the weather station, go first along the left-bank (orographically) moraine of the NE Addala glacier, then cross this glacier in a southerly direction, not reaching the first stage of the ice fall.

Passage sections:

• Section R0–R1: possible avalanche danger
• Section RII–RIII: move in crampons, alternating belay, ice screws used.
• Section RVII–RVIII: avalanche danger, movement with alternating belay, ice screws used.

Note in the cairn on the rock shelf N slope. Control cairn on the pre-summit ridge.
