The summit of Kumbel (4180 m) in the Kyzylsuu ridge, 2A category route via the southern slope, description of the path from the Kyrgyz-Ata alpine camp.
Kumbel
South of the junction peak of Jalan-Kanysh in the Kyzyk-Alay ridge, between the Chugam and Kurgan passes, stands a small simple rocky peak Kumbel with a height of 4180 m, with gentle tall scree slopes at its foot. Only one route has been laid to the summit — on February 16, 1987, a group consisting of V. Suviga, Yu. Gorbunov, S. Ovcharenko, and A. Studenin ascended to the summit of Kumbel via the southern slope. Ascents via the Eastern and Western ridges and from the north to the summit have not been made.
2. Kumbel via the southern slope of the Western ridge
The route is rocky, category 2A (fig. 5, 6, 8, 9). Length — 700 m, elevation gain — 400 m, time — 2.5–3 hours.
From the "Kyrgyzata" alpine camp (group of 2–6 people), cross the Kurgan river by bridge and ascend along the road on the left side of the Kurgan gorge. Pass through the juniper forest of the green cape, then ford the stream of the first lateral cirque of the Northern Kyzyk-Alay ridge, then — the southern scree slopes of the peak Burevestnik Kyzyk-Alaysky. Further along the pack trail, ford the stream of the second lateral cirque, formed by the ridges of the peaks Burevestnik, Kumbel, and the Northern Kyzyk-Alay ridge, and approach the scree slopes leading to the Kurgan pass.

Description of the ascent route to the summit Alam-DdvrishI from the north, 22 km, category I difficulty, indicating approaches, overcoming the pass, and descent.
Description of the Ascent to the Summit
Alam-Darvesh from the North
via route 2A cat. difficulty I. Dushanbe – Gushaры village (by car – 42 km). II. Approaches. Past the chaikhana and the store – onto the slope behind the Gushaры village. The trail is visible from the road: it goes up the slope behind the village to the left and then up to the right. In about 30–40 minutes, the trail leads to a stream, after which a steep ascent to a small pass begins. The ascent takes 10–15 minutes. Then a well-defined trail traverses the slope, approaching a powerful stream in about half an hour. The Alam-Darvesh peak stands in the upper reaches of a large right tributary of this stream. At one point, the trail opens up a view to the left of the peak and the pass, named by V.I. Kryukov in honor of the compiler of this description (“Oh, what a nasty pass!”) — Sanprosvetrabotnikov pass. You should not go all the way to the mouth of the tributary. 40–50 minutes after passing the previously mentioned small pass, near large nut trees, a small trail branches off perpendicularly to the right from the main trail, leading to the cultivated terraces on the right (orographic) bank of the valley of interest. You can also go along the bottom of the valley, but during periods of high water, you may have to climb high onto the slope to bypass the rock walls that approach the water.

Description of the Traverse
Mt. Igizak (Category I difficulty)
From the overnight stay on the green meadow located below Bivouachnaya Mt. Byravnaya, one needs to move upwards along the Igizak River, initially through grassy slopes and scree, and then through snow. After 1.5–2 hours, one can reach the Naizakhba Pass, situated between the peaks of Igizak and Maly Igizak.
The ascent to the summit of Mt. Igizak follows the western ridge, which consists of easy rocks. The movement is simultaneous. The ascent from Naizakhba Pass to Mt. Igizak takes 40–50 minutes.
The summit elevation is approximately 3700 m. The eastern ridge features alternating sections of small snowfields, easy rocks, and small scree.
The descent follows the right side of the ridge (three gendarmes remain on the left) down to Maly Igizak Pass, with simultaneous movement throughout.
From Maly Igizak Pass, the descent to the overnight stay via snowfields presents no difficulties.
For a small group, the descent from Mt. Igizak to Maly Igizak Pass takes 25–30 minutes, and from Maly Igizak Pass to the overnight stay, it takes 40–50 minutes.
