Ascent from the Purovsky glacier along the scree and talus located on the western slope of the peak to the entrance to the snow-ice couloir.

  • The couloir is crossed in its lower part (highly hazardous, grade 3–4 boundary).
  • Then ascend up the slopes (grade I rope).
  • Then move up and to the right along the slabs and loose scree to the upper part of the wide inclined snow-ice plateau (pitons used for belay).

Then traverse left — up along the ledges and the upper part of the couloir, which is to be crossed lower down. Ascend to the right along an internal corner and a crack onto a ledge, then along loose rocks and a crevice — exit under a rock beam onto a snowy plateau. After bypassing the rock beam on the left along an inclined ledge — exit onto the pre-summit ridge. Then along steep scree — exit onto the summit.

Descent follows the ascent route. Ascending along the ridge via the couloir is hazardous due to rockfall.
