Guidelines and clarifications for the "Red Dot" route along the East Ridge, categorized as 3-5 difficulty level, including a description of the path, overnight stays, and ascent time calculation.

Recommendations and clarifications for ascending to the summit RED POINT via the East Ridge — 3–5 cat. difficulty. 0. The ascent to the ridge at the point of its significant lowering via snow ledges is clearly visible from below at the start of the route.

  1. The slab in front of the grey pillar is bypassed on the left via a ledge-crevasse.
  2. When bypassing the grey pillar on the right, it was necessary to cut 2–3 steps in the snow-ice slope.
  3. A good platform /in the form of a practically horizontal slab on the ridge/ for overnight stay is available 30–45 minutes before reaching the grey pillar.
  4. It's best to pass the gully with a plug in its upper part without backpacks.

Description of the ascent route to the peak (4600 m) in the spur of Kok-Bel from Purovsky Pass, category III complexity.

The Kok-Bel spur, stretching in the meridional direction, separates the Kshemish and Purovskogo glaciers. Ascents to the peaks located in the spur are made:

  • from the east - from the Kshemish glacier,
  • from the west - from the Purrovskogo glacier,
  • as well as from the passes connecting these glaciers. The transition from the base camp under the Kshemish glaciers to the assault camp in the upper reaches of the Purovsko glacier takes about 7 hours. At the same time, it is necessary to cross the snowy pass of Puroveko roughly 2B cat. The path through the Kiroksan pass takes significantly more time.

Description of the ascent route to the summit from Vetrenaya col via the wall and ridge, indicating the difficulty and time for ascent and descent.

From the approach to Vetrenaya pass (for a description of the route to the pass, see the section “Ascent in the Skalisty peak massif”) - easy rock ascent to the wall. The wall is 55° steep, 50 m long, has complex rocks (10 m), in the middle of the wall it's on friction. The path goes straight up. After the wall, the path goes along the ridge for several meters, and then left up a chimney (5 m) to the shelves, along which there is an 80 m traverse. Then climb up steep sandy walls (50 m), exit to the summit. From the pass to the summit takes 2 hours. Descent via the ascent route (2 abseils), the rocks on the route are complex. From the approach to the pass to the summit takes around 6 hours.

Description of the ascent route to the summit along the main rib of the Kara-Bel spur from the Polish camps on the ridge.

From the Polish bivouacs on the ridge, the route goes along the main edge of the Kara-Bel spur across the plateau. Crossing the lateral ridges leading to the Snezhny and Balkon peaks, we reach a saddle on the main ridge (the saddle - good weather). From the saddle, on the right side of the main edge, we ascend a steep snow-ice slope to the summit (on the last 200 m the steepness is up to 50°). From the Polish bivouacs - 3 hours. Descent follows the ascent route.
