along shelves or steep smooth plates. Careful belaying with pitons. Then through (a sleeping window) we exit onto a 5-meter rocky ridge, which we traversed with a rope.

Further on, the route follows rocks of medium difficulty. There are two 7–8 meter walls, which are taken head-on — 3 rock pitons.

Through simple rocks, we exit onto the summit.

Control point. We found a note from a group of climbers from the Kyrgyz State University, who made an ascent to Peak I May in 1957 via the Southwest Ridge, route category 1B.

The ascent from the col to the summit took 7 hours.

The descent along the Northwest Ridge to the glacier took 30 minutes. Further on — along the familiar path to the bivouac. The return to the campsite by the lake took about an hour.

Our group assessed the route as category 3B.
