The summit of Pik Sverdlova is a huge cornice hanging to the east; ridges branch off to the NE, SE, and SSE. On the northeastern part of the summit, there is a rocky outcrop where a bust of Ya. M. Sverdlov was installed and a cairn was built, with flags of the Russian Federation and Kyrgyzstan erected. Descent from the summit is possible via any of the three branching ridges. Our group descended via the ascent route. The route's difficulty is assessed by the group as category 5A.

  1. Ascent from Lake 3800 m to the base camp on the ridge at 4800 m — 8 hours.
  2. Traversing the section from 4800 m to the summit at 5280 m — 8 hours.
  3. Traversing the section from the cave to the summit of Sverdlova — 7 hours.
