Brief description of the route
From the bivouac located on a green meadow below Obzornaya peak, move along the moraine rampart in the direction of Shavlinsky Nizhny pass. Before reaching the glacier tongue, ascend the scree slope of Obzornaya peak, bypassing it in the direction between Nizhne-Shavlinskaya and Obzornaya peaks to the ice slope flowing from Obzornaya peak.
The ice slope is climbed simultaneously. For a training group — a convenient place to practice piton teamwork. The ice slope leads to a destroyed rock wall, which is climbed to reach the summit.
Descent is via the ascent route. The route is objectively safe. Follow the rules for:
- scree slopes
- ice slopes
All group members must have:
- crampons
- 5–6 ice screws for a training group
