July 24, 1969 Kazimierz Głazek Tadeusz Piórowski Krzysztof Cieluch Bogdan Jankowski

From "Polskie Noczowki" (see section for route description to "Polskie Noczowki") ascent via "Belyi Koni" mandarin (through snowy-ice fields, left ridge - 2 ropes on firm snow and 1 rope on ice) - exit to rocky ridge. Climb 40 m on mandarin summit via crumbling talus with icing. Then sporty descent to the saddle behind the mandarin.

From here:

  • two ropes on crumbling rocky ridge with icing (steepness up to 70°),
  • small ascent with ladder usage,
  • further 50 m to the next ascent on similar ridge,
  • traverse right and up about 20 m on practically sheer ice wall (live rocks),
  • then 30 m of iced slabs with steepness up to 45° under big ridge ascent.

Left, the ridge drops with vertical rock walls to Ak-Terek glacier, right of the ridge - iced slabs with steepness up to 50°.

On slabs, non-slippery: right up 20 m, then straight up about 70 m - chopping steps in icing. Further:

  • 100 m of practically horizontal ridge,
  • last 100 m of snowy-ice ridge with 30° steepness, leading to the summit.

Ridge length from "Polskie Noczowki" to the summit - about 700 m.

Descent via ascent path to "Polskie Noczowki", then to Ak-Terek glacier and through Ivanov's pass - to glacier.
