Description of the "Discovery" route 4B via the North-Eastern wall of the summit in the western spur of the 1st Crown Tower, mixed climbing techniques, and recommendations for passage.
In the western spur of the 1st tower of the Corona, there is a separate peak (height 4300 m). The Northeast wall of this peak drops 500 meters towards the Uchitel glacier. We laid out the route along the most logical path on the wall.
The "Discovery" route starts with a steep avalanche-prone ascent under the bergschrund, and then follows ice couloirs through a short rocky belt to the western ridge of the peak. The route is interesting from an educational perspective. Here, in miniature, various terrain types are encountered, and techniques for winter mixed climbing on rocks and ice couloirs are mastered. In case of difficulties, it's always possible to descend.
One of the highlights of the route for us was the long ridge, where we constantly had to climb somewhere. If we compare the route to other 4B routes in the area, it's more challenging than the popular 4B on Baychechek through the "snot". Sections similar to the key "snot" are encountered early on in the route. Such mixed sections are more characteristic of 5A (the "Mobilnykh" route on Corona). However, due to the route's relatively short length, I would categorize its difficulty as 4B rather than 5A.
The route was completed in a day. All sections were climbed using free climbing; we left no hardware or rope loops behind, as we descended via a couloir (near the Plotnikov 5A route) to the Koronsky glacier.
This variant added difficulties with a lengthy traverse, but ultimately, we managed without rappels.
I would recommend climbing this route exclusively in winter. In the summer, it's likely to be heavily rockfall-prone.
