Description of the Traverse

Mt. Igizak (Category I difficulty) From the overnight stay on the green meadow located below Bivouachnaya Mt. Byravnaya, one needs to move upwards along the Igizak River, initially through grassy slopes and scree, and then through snow. After 1.5–2 hours, one can reach the Naizakhba Pass, situated between the peaks of Igizak and Maly Igizak. The ascent to the summit of Mt. Igizak follows the western ridge, which consists of easy rocks. The movement is simultaneous. The ascent from Naizakhba Pass to Mt. Igizak takes 40–50 minutes. The summit elevation is approximately 3700 m. The eastern ridge features alternating sections of small snowfields, easy rocks, and small scree. The descent follows the right side of the ridge (three gendarmes remain on the left) down to Maly Igizak Pass, with simultaneous movement throughout. From Maly Igizak Pass, the descent to the overnight stay via snowfields presents no difficulties. For a small group, the descent from Mt. Igizak to Maly Igizak Pass takes 25–30 minutes, and from Maly Igizak Pass to the overnight stay, it takes 40–50 minutes. Compiled by: Mashkov V. S.

  • Follow the snowy ridge to the first summit.
  • The steep ascent up the snowfield is done with alternating belays. On the way to the Main summit from the first, two gaps in the ridge are encountered. It's better to ascend via the snow to the left of the ridge. The exit to the summit is on snow. The descent from the summit is along the western ridge to a gap, and then onto the Kulai Jawonon glacier plateau and down the valley to the bivouac. The ascent takes 7–8 hours. Fig. 16.

Ascent to the West summit of Elbrus via the West ridge, category of complexity 2B, duration of the route is 4 days.

  1. Western summit of Elbrus via the Western shoulder (route category 2B, fig. 8–10). From the village of Terskol, ascend first along the road, then along the trail on the right side of the Azausue valley and, after 4 hours, reach the initial bivouac at the Old Panoramic Viewpoint (Stary Krogzor) located on the southernmost (southeastern) spur of the Elbrus massif. From the Panoramic Viewpoint (departure at 2–3 am) turn left and via the moraine, and then along the Maly Azau glacier, reach the snowy plateau. Across the plateau (covered crevices!), then along a small, gently sloping snowy slope, reach the rocky ridge to the right (north) of the Khotiu-Tau pass and the Nameless avalanche glacier descending into the Ullukam valley. From the Old Panoramic Viewpoint, 4–4.5 hours. Here, turn right and along the simple rocks of the ridge, reach the rocky ridge descending into the Ullukam valley, along the right bank of the avalanche glacier. Traverse this ridge and along simple, in places moderately difficult, destroyed, snow-covered (cornices!) rocks of the ridge, ascending in the direction of the Western shoulder, reach the snowy ridge. Along the sharp (cornices!), then wide snowy ridge, ascend to the Western shoulder of the Elbrus massif. On a small snowy saddle to the right of the shoulder — bivouac. From the Khotiu-Tau pass, 3–5 hours. From the saddle, ascend northeast along the snowy fields with gradually increasing steepness, traverse left to avoid the Western summit of Elbrus and reach below the northwestern rocky ridge of the Western summit. From here, along the simple rocks of the ridge or along the snow beside the rocks — a steep ascent to the Western summit of the Elbrus massif. From the shoulder, 5–6 hours.
