Assessment, rating: ABC — Camp 1. Ascent through the South Inylchek glacier to the confluence on the left with the Razorvanny glacier. At 4450 m and coordinates xxxxxx we set up ABC (8.5 km from BC).

From ABC in a southerly direction, down the Druzhba glacier to the southern slope of Peak Otkryty. At 4740 m with coordinates xxxxxx we set up Camp 1 (4.3 km from ABC).

Section BC — ABC:

  • Good glacier condition
  • Good ice
  • Many streams in the glacier
  • Few crevasses

Section ABC — Camp 1:

  • Numerous crevasses
  • After noon, the snow softens, rope usage is necessary
  • Debris falls to the foot of the peak
  • Avalanches do not reach here
  • Generally, no significant danger

Section Camp 1 — Summit:

  • For 120 m of height: scree, easy rocks (UIAA1+)
  • From 4860 to 5450 m: snow/inclined ice, average slope about 40° (short steep sections up to 50 m, up to 55°), no pure ice
  • From 5450 m: slope 25–35°, dangerous crevasses, not steep pre-summit plateau

Possible dangers:

  • In the upper part (from 5200 m) — falling ice
  • After snowfall — avalanche danger

Camps:

  • Melted water available
  • Space for several tents
  • Special attention to dangerous crevasses

General provisions:

  • In stable weather and good route conditions
  • After snowfall, crevasses pose a significant danger
  • In Camp 1, rockfall and icefall danger
  • UIAA difficulty category 3+ (in good route conditions)
