Report of the "Voshozhdenie" climbers' sports club team (Barnaul) on the ascent to Uchiteley peak via the center of the eastern wall first ascent, estimated at 4A Participants: Ozerov I.M. Ivanov V.L. 2016 Ascent Data Sheet Western Sayan, Ergaki ridge, section 6.2 of the mountain route classifier.
Descriptions of two mountain routes from Molodezhny Pass: category 16 route to Pik Uchiteley and category 1B route to Pik Molodezhny, including details on the approach and specific characteristics of the routes.
The ascent leader and author of the description is Zaretsky Ivan Approach: Both routes start from the Molodezhny pass. You can ascend to the pass from the Mramorny lake side. From the lake, a trail leads towards the pass, which ends at a talus slope. The ascent is via the scree, bypassing the "ram's foreheads". This path to the pass is: the shortest, not the easiest to ascend, not the safest to descend. From Mramorny lake, you can also reach Molodezhny pass via Kursanov pass. From the lake, a trail leads to Kursanov East pass. Then, from the pass, the trail follows the ridge towards Molodezhny peak. From Kursanov West pass, the trail, going along the slope, leads to Molodezhny pass. This path is longer, but it mostly follows an obvious trail. 16 to Uchyitel peak: The route starts from Molodezhny pass. From the pass, the route follows a trail that, bypassing the peak on the right, leads to the ridge. The highest point of the ridge is the summit. Descent is via the ascent route. 1B to Molodezhny peak
