B. 20 лет ССО (3350) via the northern ridge, 2А category of difficulty

From the base camp, ascend along the trail in a southerly direction until you reach a high, rocky plateau (1 hour). Cross the plateau in an easterly direction, passing by the beginning of a talus ridge (1.5 hours). Descend via a traverse along the slope of the gorge and the first lake. Move along the gorge until you reach a control cairn. Continue southward, bypassing lakes 2 and 3 on the left, and proceed to a clearly visible pass between V. 3000 m and V. 20 лет ССО. The route begins with an osypnoy (talus) couloir.

• Section 0–1: From the start of the osypnoy couloir, ascend towards the pass. At the pass, there is a control cairn.
• Section 1–2: Move along the ridge from the pass, following the base of a gendarme. Simultaneous movement with belay through ledges.
• Section 2–3: Ascend from the base of the gendarme to its summit along the ridge. Near the summit of the gendarme, navigate through a crack in a smooth, inclined slab. Alternating movement with piton belay. At the summit of the gendarme, there is a 2nd control cairn.
• Section 3–4: Descend from the summit of the gendarme down a vertical slab and a rappel loop using free climbing onto a horizontal ledge. Alternating movement with piton belay.
• Section 4–5: Rappelling from the rappel loop onto a horizontal ledge at the base of the gendarme; 6 meters after starting the descent, perform a 20–25° pendulum swing to the left under an overhanging section. Continue descending through a 2nd overhanging section until reaching the base of the gendarme.
• Section 5–6: Simultaneous movement along inclined slabs to the right of the ridge with belay using ledges and protection elements.

П. KOMSOMOLA — 25 via Tornolzhnikov Pass. The ridge is reached from the pass, the rocks are snowy in places, ridge of the 3rd cat. dif. Several small monolithic "gendarms" are overcome head-on. The length is 300 m, the average steepness is 45–50°. Overcoming with variable belay. Further, the ridge is heavily destroyed, there are many live stones - both small and large. Descent along the ledges. The length of the section is 200 m, 2 cat. dif. It is traversed simultaneously on a shortened rope. Bypassing the "lopata" gendarme on the right along the ledge, 100 m, 2 cat. dif. Between the ridge and the gendarme - a cornice on both sides. Ascent to the ridge along a steep talus. Then:

p. Komsomol (3429) on the central ridge — Category III complexity

From the base camp, we ascend to the plateau in the direction of the E Glacier (I, category 7). We then move along the plateau in its eastern direction towards the beginning of the p. Komsomol ridge. We cross the ridge in its lower, gentler part and descend along the moraine to the lakes (I, 54). We move along the lakes to the saddle between v. Spartak and the ridge of p. Komsomol. After crossing the saddle, we ascend to the route (I, 54). At the beginning of the route, there is a guiding cairn. After the guiding cairn, we move along the snow, about 200 m. Then, we ascend along easy rocks, 150 m, on a wide ridge, and then reach the "ram's foreheads" (60–70 m). At the time of ascent, the "ram's foreheads" were snow-covered — movement with organization of rope protection. Further:

• we ascend along moderately difficult rocks to a wall, 5–6 m high, before which a control cairn is located (to the right, a large gendarme is located in a couloir);

Тraverse В. KOMSOMOLA — В. 20 LET SSO 2B. section 0–1: Wide rocky ridge, heavily destroyed ridge — exit to В. Kom­so­mo­la. section 1–2: Snowy slope leads to the saddle between В. Kom­so­mo­la and В. 20 Let SSO. section 2–3: Pre-summit rocky ridge. Heavily destroyed in the lower part. In the middle part of the ridge:

V. Krasnoyarsky Burevestnik (3010) — 2B

centered control point. South slope. From the guiding cairn, move upwards, bypassing the left edges from the right, across a snowy rocky scree to a large, standalone stone "ring". Section 0–I: Movement across inclined slabs. A rocky couloir with loose stones is crossed towards the right edge, centered control point. Section I–2: Movement across inclined slabs. Section 2–3: Bypass the edge from the right across inclined shelves, then 3 meters of rock climbing (5%) straight up. Exit onto the edge.
