247. Bashil via the South Ridge

(combined route by B. Delone, 3A category of difficulty, Fig. 18, 28). From the Ullutau alpine camp (a group of 4–8 people) along the trail on the left bank of the Adyrsu River, ascend the gorge to "Mestia bivouac". 2–3 hours from the alpine camp. From "Mestia bivouac":

• exit to the tongue of the Adyrsu glacier via the left-bank moraine,
• cross it to the right and exit onto the talus of the rocky outcrop,
• go around the outcrop from the left,
• ascend along the trail to the "Adyrsu" hut on top of the outcrop. 3–4 hours from the "Ullutau" alpine camp. Descend from the hut to the Adyrsu glacier. Ascend along it, then up a steep 60–70-meter ice-snow slope
