Map of the Area

Brief Geographical Description of the Area and Climbing Conditions

The Asham peak, 5982 m, is located in the western part of the Shakhdarin Range in the South-Western Pamir, between the peaks p. Granatovyi 5700 m to the east and Bezymanaya 5891 m to the west. The Luknitskiy glacier, which is relatively calm, flows from the cirque formed by the peaks Asham, Bezymanaya, and p. Luknitskiy. The flow of this glacier feeds into Lake Zardiv, which is one of the sources of the Sezh river that flows into the full-flowing Shakhdara near the settlement of Sezh.

First Ascent

to the summit of Nakhashbita Glavnaya via the northwest ridge from the Nakhashbita Glacier, category 4A (estimated), Dnepropetrovsk

1. Characteristics of the Climbing Area

The summit of Nakhashbita Glavnaya is located in the Sugan Ridge, stretching from west to east, north of the Main Caucasian Ridge between the valleys of the rivers:

• Cherek Balkarsky
• Khizny-Don Studying the materials of groups that had previously visited this area (Honored Master of Sports of the USSR A.S. Zyuzina, I.M. Leonova, Master of Sports of the USSR R.U. Abduramanova), we concluded that nobody had climbed to the summit of Nakhashbita Glavnaya via the northwest ridge from the Nakhashbita Glacier. In the winter of 1964, during the preparation of the alpinist plans, it was decided to make this ascent.
