Map of the Area

Description of the ascent to the summit of Kamen via the NORTHERN EDGE, 4A cat. diff.

The Kamen peak is part of the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes. It is the second highest peak in Kamchatka. Its absolute height above sea level is 4650 m. Kamen is a volcano of volcanic origin. It is the oldest volcano in the Klyuchevskaya group. Its slopes are composed of volcanic rocks: – basalt – diabase. The volcano has a very large glaciation from the foot to the summit. The glaciers flowing from it to the north and northwest flow into the Svetly glacier. From the western side, the icy slopes are largely cut by rocky ridges. To the east of the summit, there is a sheer rock wall (2700 m) down to the Shmidt glacier, see photo 2.

Description

Dzhailyk via Western Ridge (V. Ruzhevsky route, 5A cat.) The route is sometimes called “Women's Five” or “Dombay Five”, implying easy dry rocks (up to cat. V) that can be realistically climbed in a day even by women. We have a good opinion about women climbers, as this route is not that easy; moreover, in bad weather it becomes virtually impassable, unlike “Monakh”.

• A bivouac can be set up at “Verkhne-Kichkidarskie nochyovki” (Upper Kichkidar Camps) or on the saddle below Donkin Pass.
• From the Western Yunom Glacier, move from the bivouac to the base of the Western Ridge of Dzhailyk peak.
• Via the avalanche debris and ice-snow slope of the Central couloir, along the rocks on the left side, approach the first inner corner at the base of the Western Ridge.
• From “Verkhne-Kichkidarskie nochyovki” it takes about 1 hour. From here:
• Up the moderately difficult 30-meter inner corner, then via smoothed steep 40–50-meter slabs ascend to the Western Ridge of Dzhailyk peak.
• Via monolithic steep slabs of above-average difficulty with short difficult walls on the Western Ridge, ascend 200–250 m to the Lower Triangle summit plateau.
• From the plateau, 50–60 m up a steep smoothed slab of above-average difficulty, then 30 m up a wall with a chimney-crack to a rock outcrop.
