Description of ascents to Moldova Peak and Pik Molodezhny in the Chon-Turasu glacier area, including route details and technical information.

Pik Moldova

Moldova is one of the peaks of the lateral spur between the eastern branch of Grigoryev Glacier and the rear wall of Chon-Turasu cirque. It drops to Chon-Turasu with a sheer 1000-meter wall: a sharp pyramid covered with snow rises 100–150 m above it, and the peak faces the branch of Grigoryev Glacier with a steep snow-ice wall with rock outcrops in the lower part. On both sides from the peak, the lateral spur has a gentle snow-ice ridge, turning into BS стена (Big Wall) peak to the southeast, and into a fork with Черный (Chernij) (to the northwest) and Moldova (to the northeast) passes:

  • Черный (Chernij) (to the northwest)
  • Moldova (to the northeast) The ascent to the peak is done along the right slope of Chon-Turasu (past Скала (Skala) and Снежная Трапеция (Sneznaja Trapecija) bivouac sites), along the eastern branch of the glacier to Moldova Pass and further directly along the ridge to the peak. All ascents can be done in one day.

Pik Molodezhnyj

The peak is located in the Main Ridge and is part of the massif that bounds the middle part of Исследователей (Issledovatelei) Glacier from the south. Pik Molodezhnyj is completely covered with an ice carapace; the peak stands out from the massif. There are two characteristic rock outcrops on the lower part of the northern slope:

  • the lower one is long, like a retaining wall, separating the glacier flowing down from the peak from Исследователей (Issledovatelei) Glacier;
