From the foot to the col, there is a snow-ice slope with a lower section of 200 m at an angle of 30–35°, covered in snow.

The slope's steepness gradually increases, and in its upper part, it has an angle of 40–45° with no snow. The length of this section is 400 m.

18 ice screws were hammered into the ice section, and it took 4 hours of working time. To the left of the route, there is a wall with a steepness of 80–90°, and beneath it, there is a talus covered in ice. It's impossible to traverse it with crampons.

The col consists of two separate gendarmes with cornices that break off to the east. From the col, the path goes north along heavily destroyed and snow-covered slopes with a steepness of 50° and a length of 60 m.

The rocks lead to a wall that ends in a ledge. From the ledge, the path goes left along the route into a narrow chimney with a steepness of 80° and a length of 6 m, formed by two smooth ice-covered slabs.

Further on, the path leads to a smooth ledge with a steepness of 50°, covered in small talus. The length of the ledge is 7–8 m. Here, we hammer in a piton. In front of us, there is a two-meter wall that leads to a narrow chimney with a length of 10–12 m and a steepness of 60°; 3 pitons were hammered into the chimney.

The chimney leads to a bolt, which drops off to the east with a sheer wall. Here, we organize a belay through a protrusion. On this section, 4 pitons were hammered in, and it was traversed in 2 hours.
