Description of the first ascent of the left buttress of the eastern peak Karagem-bash in the North-Chuya Mountains, complexity category 5A, climbed by a group of climbers in 1965.

1.2.18

Description of the First Ascent of the Left Buttress of the Eastern Peak of Karagem-bash (August 7-11, 1965)

The Karagem-bash peak (3972 m) is located in the central ridge of the North-Chuya Mountains of the Altai. The massif of this peak, stretching in the latitudinal direction, bounds one of the largest glaciers of the Altai - the Maashey Glacier (10 km long, 15 km² in area) from the south. To the west of Karagem-bash, in the same ridge, stands the massif of the Maashey peak (4250 m), which is the highest point of the North-Chuya Alps. To the east, the ridge from the Karagem-bash peak goes to the Tammy peak, from where it turns north to the Maashey Pass. To the south from the peak descend numerous extensive glaciers, giving rise to the Karagem River. To the north (towards the Maashey Glacier), the Karagem-bash peak is cut off by a one-and-a-half-kilometer wall. From the ice cap of the peak to the north hang seracs, separated by steep rocky buttresses. The falls of these seracs occur along the lower sections of these buttresses, where they are less steep. The Left Buttress has a northern aspect and is lit by the sun in its lower part approximately from 10:00. To the right of the buttress pass routes of 5B category of difficulty along the northern walls:

  • the eastern peak of Karagem-bash
  • the western peak of Karagem-bash. The reconnaissance of the route and its study were conducted by the group during a separate trip to the upper reaches of the Maashey gorge. The path taken fully coincided with the planned one. The group considered that the route should be 5B category of difficulty, but it turned out to be more difficult due to the upper part, which was poorly visible from below.

A challenging rock climbing route featuring a crucial section within an inner corner, which demands careful piton placement and navigating gendarmes with bottom belay.

for the in-situ pitons, whose pulled-out remnants are weakly held. The жандарм must be crossed with careful lower belay! The жандарм ends abruptly on the ridge with a 3-meter wall. Descent to the ridge can be done in a sportsmanlike manner, by wrapping the rope around one of the firm in-situ pitons. Further on, the path to the third жандарм is straightforward and goes along easy rocky terrain. The last жандарм is a rock formation inclined to the east, 30–50 m in length. The жандарм is traversed from the left (as one ascends) — the only possible way to overcome it. One needs to descend along moderate rocks, 3 m, to a ledge, left and down in the direction of travel, and reach a narrow ledge (10 cm) about 2 meters long. The ledge ascends obliquely upwards, leading to a steep internal corner and ends abruptly. After the corner, the ledge continues. The internal corner is wide with smooth walls; there are very few cracks. The rocks are complex, and
