Uchityel
Uchitel glacier and Korona ridge area · Chuy Region · Kyrgyzstan
GSPart-of-the-day route or a short day from base. Approach and descent are broadly straightforward, route-finding is rarely a problem.
Objective danger is minimal and does not define the character of the route. Dangerous spots are either rare or insignificant.
A fall is usually well controlled: reliable gear close by, clear belays, terrain that does not lead to hitting ledges or the ground.
Translated from Russian
The route is simple but lengthy. It actually starts from the Laitkhaus hut. Only crampons are required from the equipment; it is advisable to put them on for the descent as there are icy sections. I did not need crampons for the ascent. Rope, harness and other equipment are not required under normal route conditions. On the route one should not spread out, as you may knock a stone down onto a companion. Navigation presents no difficulties.
