View (34 a0) with CAs nC 2/mi–771. The summit of Urech is located in the northern spur of the nodal peak of Aurondag of the Zeravshan ridge, and more precisely, it closes this spur from the north. To the south, v. Urech slightly rises above the ridge (150 m) and the ascent to it is quite simple. To the west, northwest, north, and east from the summit, ridges diverge. According to the information from KSP in the summer of 1977, the following routes were climbed:

• eastern ridge
• western ridge Both routes are not classified, and according to the estimates of the groups that made

The arch is located to the right and above (I50 m) of the cave. There is a control tour on the arch. The exit from the cave to the right seems easier, but having passed a relatively simple rope, one has to overcome three ropes of difficult climbing with an exit to the same main arch. The right variant of the exit from the cave is more complicated than the left one. From the control tour upwards along grey rocks with black streaks and further along the system of shelves and rocks of medium difficulty to the left and upwards to the grey-yellow rock protruding from the wall (three ropes from the tour). From the arch between the wall and the grey-yellow rock

• ascent upwards along the inner corner with a slight overhang in the upper part. Further:
