Description of the route to the mountain peak with sections of snow-ice and rocky terrain, including technically difficult sections, elements of ITO and overnight stays organization.
Pitch 0–2. Start — bergschrund. It is better to cross it in the left part of the lowering, as the width of the crevasse and the wall of the bergschrund are somewhat smaller. Further movement is along the ice slope with a steepness of 50–55° to the rocks. Insurance through ice screws, use of ice screws and piolet-traction (French: "piolet-traction", Russian: айс-фифи). Pitch 2 — 5. Rocky belt, steep granite monoliths, limited selection of cracks. At first, movement along the inner corner, then a small cornice; after it, along an inclined crack to the left. Very difficult climbing, passing in aide (French: "aide", Russian: ИТО). When planning the passage of this section, it is best to use preliminary processing. For insurance, the entire set of rock equipment is used:
- pitons (Russian: крючья),
- nuts (Russian: закладки),
- cams (Russian: френды),
- piton-ladders (Russian: крю-коно-лесе-нки) etc. Pitch 6 — II. A small inclined shelf, overnight stay is possible using a hammock or a square piece of fabric under a tent. Further:
- Very difficult climbing along a vaguely expressed chimney
- Exit under a cornice
