The traverse encompasses stunning scenery and technical climbing sections. #### Key Features: * **Location**: Central Caucasus * **Complexity**: 4-5 category * **Notable Peaks**: Midagrabin-Hokh, Tep-Hokh * The route involves traversing two significant peaks, offering breathtaking views and demanding climbing sections.
Traverse of Midadgrabin-Khokh (4040 m) – Tep-Khokh (3926 m) peaks, 4–6 cat. diff. (approximately).
The Midadgrabin glacier area is adjacent to the Kazbek high-altitude area (to the west) and is located in the eastern part of the Central Caucasus. The highest peak in the area (and North Ossetia) is Jimarai-Khokh (4778 m).
The massifs of Midadgrabin-Khokh (4040 m) and Tep-Khokh (3926 m) peaks are part of the ridge that bounds the Midadgrabin plateau from the south and branches off from Jimarai-Khokh to the west.
Relief features:
- To the north, the ridge drops sharply with steep icy slopes and rocky walls.
- To the south, it drops with rocky walls. The rocks that make up the massifs of these peaks are extremely unstable, and the ridge between them is heavily destroyed and very sharp with steep drops. The traverse was first completed in September 1956 by the "Lokomotiv" group led by L. Tsypkin. It was traversed for the second time also by the "Lokomotiv" group in the same year.
