30 years of the VLKSM

Description of the ascent route along the northern ridge to the Peak 30 let VLKSM (Kyrgyz Range), complexity category 2B, ascent duration is about 7 hours.

Location. The Peak 30 let VLKSM is located on the ridge of the Jalamyshsky spur of the Kyrgyz Range and is its first peak to the north of the junction, where this spur branches off in a practically meridional direction from the Sokuluksky spur. To the north of the peak, its other neighbor, the Panfilov Peak, rises. From the summit to the east, a counterfors runs, which flows along the Yu. Adygene glacier, making a turn to the north. The entire northern slope of the counterfors is covered with a hanging glacier, which forms a small glacier at the foot. The western slope of the peak is steep and dissected by numerous rocky ribs made of crystalline chlorite schists. Externally, the summit resembles a regular three-faced pyramid and is well visible from the entire Adygene area. Ascent via the North Ridge The route, like the previous one, starts from the "Elektro" campsite and coincides with it in the initial part. After the slope of the Elektro peak turns to the west, you should not go to the left morene of the Yu. Adygene glacier. You need to continue moving along the same hollow in the southern direction, where the beautiful pyramid — the goal of the ascent — is almost always visible. The hollow leads to the valley between the Panfilov Peak and the Peak 30 let VLKSM, which forms two chambers here: the northern one the southern one, adjacent directly to the Peak 30 let VLKSM From this valley, the bottom of which is paved with morenic ridges, it is necessary to ascend to the ridge connecting the two mentioned summits. There are two variants of the path to this ridge: The first one: along the slope with an exit to the col (the 30 let VLKSM pass) from the southern chamber. The path to the pass runs along a loose scree.
