Climbing description for Category III route

I. Approaches

The approach to the summit follows the valley next to the Cheryrekh Uchel'ye gorge. Crossing the Maikhura River by fording. There is no trail, and the route goes straight up the valley, through large scree. There is no water visible as it runs under the scree. At the end of the valley, there is a rock wall with gushing water fountains that disappear under the scree 100–150 m below. At this spot, there is a large green meadow suitable for camping. The approach from the road takes 2 hours, with a significant ascent. From the overnight camp, one can pass the wall with fountains (the rocks are easy, with shelves) and reach the glacier cirque.
