Тщательной причёской отработкой и на копках. От места подходки на перевале 2 ч 30 мин.
The ice ridge turns into a rocky ridge. Here, difficult climbing on rocks (40°), covered with thick flow ice. Insurance through pitons. There are loose rocks. After 40 m exit to the right to a site protected from rockfall from above. Further movement upwards:
- first along stratified rocks,
- then on ice,
- then along 25-meter rocks (60°), which is a continuation of the ridge.
At the exit from the rocks, there is a convenient site for organizing insurance, above - overhanging rocks.
After the rock, movement to the right - up - to the left along a wide couloir (65°), formed by randomly located rocks. Insurance through horizontal pitons and duralumin wedges. After 80 m of difficult climbing along the couloir, exit to a gentle part of the ridge, which after 15 m comes under a monolithic, almost vertical triangular wall with a height of 20 m, with very small cracks and with an internal angle on the right with a length of 30 m.
Relative passage time: 7 hours.
Overcoming the wall occurs with the use of petal pitons, hanging ladders and grips.
Movement takes place in the following sequence:
- First, movement upwards, then to the right;
- After overcoming approximately 2/3 of the wall - exit to the internal angle on its left (along the path) side, which is passed similarly to the wall;
- In the upper part of the internal angle - exit to the edge, which is a continuation of the vertex angle of the triangular wall.
The edge is heavily locked, without grips and cracks convenient for hammering in pitons. After a small twist,
