SSummitMateAscent to the summit of Passismta via the North face, a combined route of 3B category of difficulty, traversing snowy and icy slopes as well as a rocky couloir.
- Passismta via the North Face (combined route, category III difficulty, fig. 5, 6). From Tskhsinitskali Glacier (№ 18), ascend the snowy-ice slope to the bergschrund below Passismta's North Face. Cross the bergschrund via a snow bridge, then ascend a steep ice-snow slope for 80–100 m (avalanche risk, pitons) to the lower crevasse, which is traversed using snow bridges (piton usage). Continue 200–300 m up a steep ice-snow slope (avalanche risk, pitons) to the upper crevasse, which is more easily traversed on the left. Then ascend 150–200 m up and left on the ice-snow slope (belay) under the icy rock couloir on the left side of the summit tower. Ascend 60–80 m up the steep couloir of moderate difficulty (piton usage) to reach the Northeast Ridge. Turn right here and ascend via the snowy plateau and easy broken rocks to the summit of Passismta. 4–7 hours from the glacier.
