KAMCHATKA V. Aag Via the South Edge, category 3A difficulty Material on the first ascent of the route to Mount Aag. Height 2500 m, via the southern edge, category 3A difficulty.

Route Description

Mount Aag is located in the northwestern part of the Avachinskaya group of volcanoes, 50 km from the city of Petropavlovsk. The path to the volcano begins from the settlement of 5th Stroika. In good weather, the summit serves as a landmark; in poor visibility, the direction is taken by compass — 37° NW. The journey from the settlement to the initial bivouac takes 10 hours. The initial bivouac is set up on a plateau near a triangular rock. The height of the plateau is 700 m. Departure at 2 am to avoid the snow getting soggy on the plateau during the day.

Vlk. Kozelsky, 2170 m, 1B cat. diff., ridge, S. Grinkevich, 1966.

The approach to the route is from the Upper Hut, along the right side of the Kozelsky Glacier. Then, across the center of the glacier, exit onto the plateau. Cross the plateau in the middle towards the beginning of the NW ridge (see photo). Access to it is in the lower part, under the rocks, via a steep ascent. This section of the approach takes 5 hours. Ascent to a wide snowy ridge covered with frozen coarse slag. Movement along the ridge:

• in groups, everywhere simultaneous,
• all gendarmes are bypassed on the right side,
• the ridge on both sides is cut off by steep slopes and couloirs. After the last two "gendarmes," the ridge becomes gentler but narrower. Exit to a cirque

Description of the ascent to the "Tooth" of Kozel'skiy volcano via the Western ridge, category 2A difficulty.

1. General description of the summit and its location.

Kozel'skaya sopka is part of the Avachinskaya group of volcanoes, located in the eastern part of the Kekhur ridge. The absolute height of Kozel'skaya sopka above sea level is 2210 m. It is an extinct volcano. Its slopes are composed of basalt and diabase. The slopes are generally gentle and mostly covered with a thick layer of slag. In the summer months, the pre-summit ridge is cleared of snow, exposing several gendarmes. However, snow persists on the slopes, even on the southern ones, throughout the summer. The northern slopes of the sopka are the walls of a large ancient crater, covered with ice and firn. These walls are densely strewn with basaltic "rock fingers". The volcano has three peaks:

• Western,
• Central,
• Eastern. The highest peak is the Eastern one, which is a rocky "tooth" rising 50 m above the general massif. The walls of the "tooth" are sheer on all sides. There is a non-wall passage along the south-eastern ridge (category 1B difficulty route). A glacier is located on the western side of the sopka (the glacier serves as a boundary between Avachinskiy and Kozel'skiy volcanoes), from which the Kozel'skiy stream flows. The foot of the volcano is heavily dissected by ravines. On the eastern side of the foot, there are quarries of construction organizations developing slag.

2. Approach to the ascent location.

Description

Ascent to Koryaksky volcano via SSW ridge, category 2B General description of the summit and its location To the northwest of Avacha, separated from it by a saddle-shaped valley with Avachinsky Pass, rises the highest volcano of this group - Koryaksky. Its regular cone, long undisturbed by eruptions, is cut by deep barrancos. In some places on the surface of the cone, lava flows have solidified, sometimes reaching the foot, sometimes stopping halfway. The modern height of the volcano, equal to 3456 m, exceeds all other peaks in the southern part of Kamchatka. The summit of the volcano is slightly truncated to the west, and a modern crater of irregular shape, measuring 90 by 45 m, is located in its lowered part, from which a long lava flow descends to the southern wide barranco. In the northern part of the summit are the remains of an ancient crater, expanded by the action of a glacier to 500 m. The highest point of the volcano is located to the east, and a little lower and further east, on the edge of a cliff, a high lava obelisk rises. The summit and northern slopes near the summit are covered with ice. The depression of the ancient crater is filled with a powerful glacier, descending to the foot with two tongues. The length of the glacial tongues reaches 3-4 km, the width is up to 150 m. The thickness of the ice is measured in tens of meters. West of these tongues lie three more glaciers and many snowfields, filling all the barrancos of this part of the slope. To the south, the slopes of the volcano and the adjacent foothills are freed from snow cover early in the summer and become completely waterless by early August.
