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)
