View (34 a0) with CAs nC 2/mi–771.

The summit of Urech is located in the northern spur of the nodal peak of Aurondag of the Zeravshan ridge, and more precisely, it closes this spur from the north. To the south, v. Urech slightly rises above the ridge (150 m) and the ascent to it is quite simple. To the west, northwest, north, and east from the summit, ridges diverge.

According to the information from KSP in the summer of 1977, the following routes were climbed:

  • eastern ridge
  • western ridge

Both routes are not classified, and according to the estimates of the groups that made the first ascent, they have categories 2B and 3B respectively.

The northeast wall is located between the northern and eastern ridges. In the lower part, the rocks are monolithic, in the upper part, they are more destroyed and less steep, although from below the upper part of the wall appears steep.

The route passes through the northeast wall and starts from the first stage of the ascent to the Kulikalon lakes.

The approach from the road "Artuch" to the start of the route along the trail to the Kulikalon lakes takes 2 hours.

From the trail, after ascending to the first stage, a large depression in the wall (a cave) is clearly visible in the lower third of the wall, slightly to the left of the center.

The beginning of the route is to the left of the cave, at the left edge of the large rock triangle located under the cave.

The path initially goes through a cleft separating the left edge of the rock triangle from the wall, then along ledges:

  • first to the right,
  • then to the left,
  • along easy and moderately difficult rocks to the cave.

The exit to the cave is via a 3-meter gray wall.

From the cave, 30 m upwards through the rocks on the left part of the cave (key point). Climbing is difficult, with a small number of cracks for hook protection, then a horizontal traverse along steep rocks to the left (40 m) to a ledge. Further to the left - upwards, bypassing overhanging rocks in the direction of black-colored slabs. Up the slabs, then along ledges and moderately difficult rocks (150 m) to the right and upwards, exit to a talus saddle.
