1. Geographical Location and Ascent Routes
The summit of West Mizhirgi (4928 m) is located in the North Array between Pushkin Peak and East Mizhirgi, to which it is connected by ridges; in addition, a steep rocky ridge runs south from West Mizhirgi to Sella Pass and a spur runs north into Mizhirgi Gorge. The ascent directly to the summit is possible via several routes:
- along the northern spur from Mizhirgi Gorge (5B);
- from the saddle between Pushkin Peak and West Mizhirgi (4B);
- from Sella Pass along the southern ridge. The route from Sella Pass was traversed by Swiss mountaineers (Saladin's group) and in 1953 by a "Burevestnik" group led by Honored Master of Sports K.K. Kuzmin during the traverse of Bezengi Wall - Dykh-Tau, but until 1957 it was not classified as an independent route.
