The summit of Uzlovaya Dzhuguturlyuchat is located in the Main Caucasian Range (MCR). This section of the MCR starts from the Amanauz massif, after which the ridge lowers to the rarely visited "Nauka" pass and continues further - to the complex terrain of the multi-summit massif, connecting with the South summit of Dzhuguturlyuchat. From it, the ridge turns northeast to the Main (3921 m) and Uzlovaya (3800 m) summits of Dzhuguturlyuchat, from which a short spur branches off to peak Mitnikov (3700 m) and further to the East summit of Dzhuguturlyuchat (3880 m). From the latter, the spur branches out:

• to the north - to peak Ine (3409 m)
• to the west - to the West summit of Dzhuguturlyuchat (3700 m). The massifs of Dzhuguturlyuchat and Amanauz form a huge cirque, in which three glaciers are located. From the summit of Uzlovaya Dzhuguturlyuchat, the ridge has an eastern direction and connects to the rocky summit of Ptysh (3520 m). This section of the ridge is known as Akbeksky. The route to the summit of Uzlovaya Dzhuguturlyuchat runs along the eastern edge, which stretches parallel to the 3B category route to peak Mitnikov. The route is rocky in nature, except for the approach to the edge, which passes through the East Dzhuguturlyuchat glacier. From the "Dombay" tourist center to the Ptysh camps, this path is well described in Kropf's book (part 3). The ascent from the Ptysh camps to the East Dzhuguturlyuchat glacier plateau is possible through three broad couloirs:
• the 1st descends under the slopes of the Akbek peaks;
