Ascents description of Moldova Peak and Pik Molodezhny in the Researchers Glacier massif with detailed route indication and technical details.

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. Towards the branch of Grigoryev Glacier, the peak faces a steep snow and ice wall with rock formations in the lower part. On both sides of the peak, the lateral spur has a gently sloping snow and ice ridge, transitioning into Bolshaya Wall peak to the southeast and into a fork with passes to the northwest:

  • Chyorny (to the northwest);
  • Moldova (to the northeast). The ascent to the peak is carried out along the right slope of Chon-Turasu (under the "Skala" and "Snezhnaya Trapetsiya" landmarks), along the eastern branch of the glacier to Moldova Pass and then directly along the ridge to the peak. All ascents can be completed in one day.

Pik Molodyozhny 2931 m

The peak is located in the Main Ridge and is part of the massif that bounds the middle part of Issledovatelei Glacier from the south. Pik Molodyozhny is completely covered with an ice cap, and 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, resembling a retaining wall, separating the glacier flowing from the peak from Issledovatelei Glacier;
