V. Stazhеров peak from Znachkistov pass, 2A cat.

From the camp, move up towards the Big Aktru glacier. Walk along the slopes of Kzyl-Tash, following the riverbed, to large rocky "ram's foreheads" (1–1.5 hours), which are bypassed on the right along a steep scree.

Further, move along the edge of the glacier to the slopes of Stazhеров peak. On the moraine ridge, there is a glaciologists' camp, and behind the ridge, there is a lake. It takes 3–3.5 hours to walk from the camp. It is a convenient place for an overnight stay.

From the moraine lake, move up towards Znachkistov pass. The ascent goes first along the scree, then along the snowy slope. Time — 1.5–2 hours.

There is no need to ascend directly to the pass. A gentle snow slope leads to the pass, which goes up to the left towards Stazhеров peak. Ascend to the summit ridge along this snow-ice slope. Movement is simultaneous; on icy sections, it is alternating with piton belay. In the upper part of the slope, it is necessary to overcome a crevasse. Further, along the несложному summit ridge, reach the summit. Time — 1–1.5 hours.

The descent follows the ascent route.
