Fig. 29 127. Bubis (4428 m) via West Ridge (mixed route by A. Gvalia, category III difficulty, Fig. 29). The path from the CSP of the Tsey region or from the village of Dzinaga (group of 4-8 people) to the initial bivouac on the platforms of the West Ridge of the Bivouac Peak or on the plateau below the West Ridge of Bubis is described in route 83. From the initial bivouac (closed crevasses), approach the left side of the base of the West Ridge of Bubis via the snowy plateau. From the plateau:

• Cross the bergschrund via a snow bridge (protection);
• Ascend the snowy slope to the West Ridge of Bubis. Turn left here. Initially, follow the snowy ridge upwards, then proceed along a simple, not steep, snow-covered rocky 300-350-meter West Ridge. Further, 100-120 m along the increasingly steeper ice-and-snow West Ridge, transitioning into a steep icy slope (piton protection), and exit onto the rocks. From here, follow simple, ruined, and steep slabs, veering right, to the exit onto a rocky ledge on the right side of the rocky ascent (protection). Traverse along the ledge on the right side of the West Ridge ascent to a vertical internal corner at its end.

Descend to the hanging glacier and approach it. Bypass the ascent on the right along the steep icy slope and on the right, and the ascent's rocks on the left. Above the drop-offs reach the hanging glacier. along the steep snow-firn slope of the glacier with crevasses ascent to the upper plateau. Along it, approach to the right tower. Bypass the tower on the right and ascend 3B turn left and along simple snow-covered rocks

a small rocky ridge and then under the wall to a well-defined inner corner. Up the 6-meter inner corner to a small site. Then, along a heavily destroyed 20-meter couloir, ascent to the ridge. From the ridge, cross a wide scree couloir, followed by a 60 m traverse along a steep, heavily destroyed, moderately difficult rocky slope to reach the ice-snow couloir. Along the 60-meter ice-snow slope, and in the upper part - a heavily destroyed rocky couloir - exit from the top of the North Counterfort to the right onto the snow slope of the hanging glacier. From here, first along the snow slope, bypassing the rocky island of the North Counterfort to the right, then passing between the rocks and a large crevasse to the right, along a steep ice-snow 150-180-meter slope, move left-up to the upper part of the snow plateau of the hanging glacier. Along a gentle snow slope, approach the saddle of the Eastern ridge to the right of the "ЗИЛ" gendarme. Overcoming the bergschrund along a snow bridge, ascend a steep 40-meter ice-snow slope to the saddle of the Eastern ridge. From the bivouac at the 2nd gendarme, 5-6 hours. From here along the Eastern ridge.

48. ZAROMAT via North Ridge of Gendarme ZIL and East Ridge (combined route, category 4B) The path from the KSP of the Tsey region to the initial bivouac in the hut of the South branch of the Tsey glacier. From the hut (departure at 3–4 am), cross the plateau of the South branch of the Tsey glacier (crevasse closure) and approach the steep ice-and-snow Left couloir descending to the left of the North Ridge of Gendarme "ZIL". The couloir is overhung by ice seracs. Ascent:

• Overcome the bergschrund from the plateau.
• Ascend 150–180 m up the right side of the Left ice-and-snow couloir, following the rocks on the left side of the North Ridge of Gendarme "ZIL" (possible rockfall, avalanches, and ice serac collapses in the couloir — piton belay).
• Then exit the couloir to the right.
• On the steep ice-and-snow slope on the left side of the North Ridge of Gendarme "ZIL", ascend 100–130 m under a 30–35-meter wall.
• Traverse the wall on moderately difficult rocks.
• Along the boundary between ice and rocks, approach a 30-meter crack-chimney with a plug.

“Live” rock - piton protection, with several small gendarmes and narrow, short saddles, ascend to the site of the East shoulder of the ascent between two small gendarmes. From the site, overcoming a small gendarme head-on, cross the saddle and via steep rocks of medium difficulty on the right side of the ridge, ascend to the Big gendarme. The Big gendarme can be initially bypassed on the shelves on the left side, then via steep couloirs (“live” rocks, protection) ascend behind it to the snowy saddle under the 3rd gendarme. The gendarme is overcome head-on via rocks of medium difficulty. Bypass the 4th gendarme via steep destroyed rocks, with an exit above the saddle under the gendarme. This gendarme is passed via rocks of medium difficulty on the ridge, then via the sharp snowy 200–250-meter ridge (cornices), via simple rocks the ascent to the summit of Zaromag. From the gendarme “ZIL” hours. Descent to the south. The duration of the route is 3 days.

Krasnoarmeets

A low rock tower of Krasnoarmeets peak (4200 m) is located in the Tsey range — the South ridge of the CDSA peak. Southwest of Krasnoarmeets stands a small sharp pyramid of Krasnoflotets peak. From the Karaugom plateau, Krasnoarmeets descends with:

• short unclimbed rock ribs, turning into a rugged ice-and-snow slope in the lower part.

114. Krasnoarmeets (4200 m) via Southwest ridge, category 2B (B. Simagin, M. Anufrikov, A. Gozhev, A. Makedonsky, N. Petrovich, T. Rozhdestvensky, K. Strekalov, August 23, 1946, during the traverse Bubis — Songuti). The path from the Tsey district KSP or from the village of Dzinaga (group 4–20 people) to the initial bivouac on the platforms of the Western ridge of Bivouachnaya peak is described in

Peak Nikolaev

Peak Nikolaev (3815 m) is named in memory of the mountaineer Nikolai Nikolaev. It is located in the eastern spur of the Mamison vertex, dividing the upper reaches of the Tsey Glacier into:

• Southern branch;
• Northern branch. Above the spur, the peak rises with a small rocky pyramid, from which a panorama of the peaks of almost the entire Tsey region opens.

193. Peak Nikolaev via the southern slope, 1B category of difficulty (B. Kizel, B. Aleynik, July 24, 1934). The path from the KSP Tsey region to the initial bivouac in the hut on the Southern branch of the Tsey Glacier is described in route 83. From the hut, descend to the glacier and along its right side approach the second wide snowy couloir descending onto the Southern branch of the Tsey Glacier from the right. Here, turn right and ascend via the wide, gently sloping snowy couloir to the left side of the rocky cape protruding in the center of the couloir under the southern slopes of Peak Nikolaev. Bypass the rocky wall of the cape from the left along a steep snowy slope (protection). From it, exit to the right onto a wide balcony above the rocky cape (ice axe platforms) with a snowy slope — under the southern walls of the peak (leave ice axes on the platforms).

The summit of Dzhailyk has a 4B category of difficulty, the nature of the route is combined. The summit of Dzhailyk is located on the sixth north-western Adyr spur. To the east of Dzhailyk (in the eastern branch) lies the summit of Cheget-bashi, to the south lies the summit of Kichkidar, and to the west lies the summit of Tyu. The summit of Dzhailyk is surrounded by glaciers: the eastern and western ones, as well as the northern Pnom-Su. Three ridges branch out from the summit of Dzhailyk:

• to the Donkina pass,
• the eastern one - towards the glacier of the summit Dzhailyk Kinchat,
• the western one - turning into a long rocky fence, separating the glaciers of the western Dzhailyk and the northern Pnom-Su. To the north-east, Dzhailyk drops with sheer walls and steep slopes, falling into the ridge between the massifs of Dzhailyk and Tyu-Tyu-S. The route begins with an overnight stay on the Black Rocks in their branch from the western ridge to Dzhailyk, in the form of a short, barely noticeable rocky ridge. From the overnight site, it goes towards the main western ridge. At the beginning, the path goes along broken rocks to the first "gendarmes", which is bypassed on the left along a steep snow-ice slope. Above the "gendarmes" there is a snow shelf, then a simple rocky ridge of broken rocks begins. The length of this section of the ridge is 35-40 m. Having passed this ridge, they reach the second "gendarmes" with sheer walls to the north-west and east. This "gendarmes" is bypassed on the left along a snow-ice couloir. Having passed 35-40 m along the couloir, one should climb up a 5-meter sloping shelf, leading to a gentle slab. From the slab:
