Andirtau

From the CPS (group of 4–6 people) down the highway of the Baksan valley past the village of Elbrus to the bridge over the Baksan River. Having crossed the bridge over the Baksan River to the right (orographic) bank of Baksan, turn right and ascend along the trail on the left bank along the way, against the current, to the moraine outflow of the first stream (Andyrchi River). Cross the stream flowing from the circus located under the northern walls of the Andyrchi-MNR ridge, and, turning left, ascend along the trail to the moraine outflow. Further:

• up the coarse scree of the couloir along the right bank of the stream;
• from the place of the bifurcation of the stream and the couloir — ascent along its left branch (in the right one — a waterfall);
• above the right waterfall — exit from the couloir along the rocks to the right onto the trail;
• along the trail onto the steep grassy slopes overgrown with small forest;
• then up the scree — to the right onto the moraine platforms near the Black Rocks. On the platforms — the initial bivouac. From the bridge over Baksan — 3–4 hours. From the platforms on the moraine ridge, descend traversing to the left along the scree. Then, along the snowy slope, exit to the "ram's foreheads" on the right side of the first (lower) rocky island of the Northern wall of Andyrchi peak. Along the following sections:
• steep grassy ledges
