### Ascent Route to Obmanchivaya Peak via Western Ridge, Category 2A Detailed description of the route and technical specifics for climbing Obmanchivaya Peak using the western ridge, classified as a 2A complexity ascent.
The ascent route to the peaks "Sypuchaya" and "Obmanchivaya".
Description
Ascent to the peak "Obmanchivaya" in the Ugam range
Height 3900 m (above sea level). First ascent. The peak "Obmanchivaya" is located in the lateral ridge of the Ugam range, which stretches from southeast to northwest. To the northwest of the peak "Obmanchivaya" lies the peak "Sypuchaya", and to the east, on the main ridge, lies the Unnamed peak. Three ridges branch out from the peak "Obmanchivaya": one stretches to the south, the second to the west, and the third to the east. Between the southern and eastern ridges lies a rock wall with a steepness of about 90° and a length of up to 300–400 m. Ascent routes to the peak "Obmanchivaya" are possible via the aforementioned ridges and wall. There is no glaciation on the peak "Obmanchivaya". From the intermediate camp located on the moraine by the lake, we depart at 5:00, moving eastward along the moraines, then turning north. The path lies between the terminal slopes of the ridge of the peak "Sypuchaya" and the southern ridge of the peak "Obmanchivaya", advancing on dense snow, with visible traces of avalanches that descended from the slopes of the peak "Sypuchaya". After 2.5 hours, we approach the western ridge of the peak "Obmanchivaya". To our left (in the direction of travel) lies the western ridge of the peak "Sypuchaya", its southern side dropping off in walls, with snow not holding on them, thus the gorge is filled with snow. Between the Western ridge of the peak "Sypuchaya" and the Western ridge of the peak "Obmanchivaya" lies a narrow gorge, through which avalanches pass, as the ridges almost connect with a rock col.

Ascent to the summit of Bolshoy Teke (3870 m) via the Eastern Ridge, category 2B complexity. Route description and recommendations for climbers.
V. Teke (3870 m) via the East Ridge, Cat. 2B
(from "Nefertiti" campsite – 2866 m) From the "Nefertiti" campsite, cross to the other side of the stream and begin ascending via a wide couloir between the massive rocky ridges of the massif. The landmark should be a prominent gendarme at the top of the ridge, strongly resembling the walls of the "Bastille" fortress. This is the ridge along which the route goes. The ascent up the snowy couloir (becoming scree-covered by the end of the season) takes about 2 hours; then, after a large rocky outcrop in the middle of the couloir, it is necessary to move rightwards onto the ridge – this takes 30–40 minutes.
Route Start
- The first gendarme is bypassed on the left.
- 35–40 m of free climbing, followed by a cairn.
- Then proceed along the ridge for 130–150 m with simultaneous belay. Rocky sections are bypassed on the left.
- 30–40 m of straightforward climbing leading to the ridge.
- Directly along the ridge – a gendarme, difficult climbing, 12 m long.
- Followed by a sharp snowy crest with a 35° slope, 15 m long, belay via ice axe.
