Cartographic scheme of the area Description of the ascent to Ploskaya Blizhnyaya peak via the eastern ridge, category 2B difficulty Ploskaya Blizhnyaya sopka is part of the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes. This peak in Kamchatka is the third highest. Its absolute height above sea level is 4108 m. Ploskaya Blizhnyaya sopka is of volcanic origin. It is an old extinct volcano. Its slopes are composed of volcanic rocks: basalt, tuff, diabase. The peak rises above the largest glacier in Kamchatka - the Svetly glacier. The height above sea level in this area is 2700 m. The sopka has a very large glaciation from the foot to the summit. The glaciers flowing down to the northeast and east flow into the Svetly glacier. On the eastern side, in the areas of sheer walls, there are quite extensive rocky ridges composed of strong and loose volcanic rocks. To the northeast - sheer rocky and icy walls from the summit to the Svetly glacier (ancient volcanic crater). The northern slopes of the sopka are gentle and are of no particular interest from an alpinism point of view. To the west, the sopka is connected by a vast glaciated isthmus with Ploskaya Dalnyaya sopka. The summit of the sopka is a powerful dome-shaped glacier with a slight slope in all directions except the northeast, where it is bounded by the walls of the ancient crater.
