Individual ice seracs reach 50–550. The snow is not deep — 30–40 cm, but it lies on a firn cushion. Movement with alternating belay through ice axe.
In the upper part, before reaching the pre-summit ridge:
- the slope is more gentle
- simultaneous movement
On the ridge leading to the summit, there are a number of snow seracs. The steepness of these seracs is 60–65°. The seracs drop off with sheer walls to the west, and to the east, they slope down with steep snow-ice slopes. The snow is fluffy and deep. It takes a long time to stamp out footholds. The exit to the summit is along a sharp rocky-snowy edge. A cairn is built 3–4 m below the highest point on the last rocky outcrop.
The time taken to move from the highest point of the wall from the overnight stop to the summit is 5–6 hours.
The descent from the summit is along the eastern ridge to the "stockade", which is bypassed on the right, following the path, with an exit onto a snowy ridge that goes across the main ridge leading to the summit of 5050 m. There is a place to spend the night in a characteristic hollow.
On the summit of 5050 m, a 4th control cairn is built. The time taken to move from the summit of 5285 m to 5050 m is 1.5–2.0 hours.
The descent from the summit of 5050 m is along a snowy edge — a "needle" — to the north. The edge is very sharp and dense, 10–15 cm wide. To the left, there is a steep slope with dense firn; to the right, there is deep snow that gives way underfoot.
Descent along the "needle" to the rocky outcrops:
- Continues along the snowy edge
- Reaches the rocky outcrops
- Bypasses the outcrops on the left, following the descent to the glacier
The descent from the summit of 5285 m to the glacier takes 3–4 hours.
The group assessed the route as category 5A.
Descent along the eastern ridge in the direction of p. Sverdlova is possible.
The recommended group size is no more than 6 people.
