96. Tyutyu Eastern peak via the North-Eastern wall (combined route by Ya. Paramuda, category 5A, fig. 5, 10). The path from Tyrnauz (group of 4-5 people) through the Tyutyusu gorge to the initial bivouac at the end of the left-bank moraine of the Tyutyu glacier is described in route 92. From the initial bivouac, cross the glacier and approach the lowest rocks of the North-Eastern wall of Tyutyu Eastern peak. Traverse a steep snowy slope to the right to bypass the base of the counterfort, and without entering a wide ice-snow couloir (avalanche and rockfall hazard), ascend to the rocks of the North-Eastern wall. Ascend via severely damaged, easy to moderately difficult rocks of the North-Eastern wall with three 35-40-meter steep sections up to a platform below a gendarme. Traverse the gendarme for 40 meters along steep, smooth slabs on the left side. Continue 80 meters up via damaged, moderately difficult, and occasionally challenging rocks, followed by a 40-meter ice-snow slope to reach a horizontal snowy ridge. Set up a bivouac on the ridge. The journey from the initial bivouac takes 8-10 hours. Ascend 70-80 meters up a sharp ice-snow ridge (cornice) to below the rocky ascent of the North-Eastern wall. Initially, climb difficult, smooth, steep rocks of a 35-40-meter wall (the key section of the route), then ascend 40 meters up-left towards the Peri gendarmes. From the Peri gendarmes, climb 300-350 meters straight up via icy, steep rocks of above-average and average difficulty to a platform at the base of the North-Eastern ridge. From the platform, ascend via easy to moderately difficult, snowy (cornices) 400-450-meter rocky ridge to the summit of Tyutyu Eastern peak. The journey from the bivouac on the snowy ridge takes 8-10 hours.

DESCRIPTION Category III, 56. FIRST ASCENTS OF TYUTYU-VASHI VIA THE NORTH FACE On August 8, 1949, the Lokomotiv team consisting of B. Garf (team leader), G. Vedenikov, V. Sher, A. Starostin, and A. Deikin (reserve) set off by car from the Lokomotiv camp to Adyl-Su for an alpine survey of the Tyutyu-Su gorge. The route commission had approved routes on any of the north faces in this gorge: Jailyk, Tyutyu-Bashi, or Sulukol. The choice was to be made on site after preliminary reconnaissance. The Tyutyu-Su River, which flows into the Baksan from the right, 3 km above the Tyrny-Auz settlement, runs through a picturesque and little-explored gorge. Paradoxically, despite the proximity to the road (a 4-hour walk along a good trail from the Tyrny-Auz settlement), the most interesting and difficult ascents in this area have not been made yet. Twice, Honored Master of Sports A.S. Zuzin visited this gorge, but at that time, he was mainly pursuing tourist-research goals and made only a few ascents via easy routes. Thus, the Lokomotiv team had a wide field of activity. The car took us to the last bridge over the Baksan before Tyrny-Auz. Here, we loaded all the expedition gear onto donkeys and set off first upstream along the Baksan (on the right bank) along a dirt road and then, crossing the Tyutyu-Su via a bridge, turned upstream along the deep canyon, following a trail laid along the left bank of the river. After 3 km, we were disappointed:

95. Tytu East via the North Face

(combined route by L. Popov, category 5B, fig. 5, 10). The path from Tyrnyauz (group of 4-5 people) through the Tютюsu gorge to the initial bivouac and at the end of the left-bank moraine of the Tютю glacier is described in route 92. From the initial bivouac on the left-bank moraine, cross the Tютю glacier and approach the rocky base of the North Face of Tютю East peak. From the glacier, begin the ascent up the wall along difficult and moderately difficult rocks using an upward-sloping internal corner to the left until reaching scree. From the corner, traverse right along a wide scree shelf through a snow patch along a belt of moderately difficult destroyed rocks to a steep icy rocky couloir (avalanche, rockfall hazard). Along difficult rocks of the vertical wall, 40 m straight up to the left of the icy couloir,

2. History of the massif exploration.

The exploration of the Ullu-tau-chana massif began in 1933, when A. Dzaparidze and G. Niguriiani ascended to the Main peak from the Lekzyr glacier off the Mestia pass via a Category 3B route, and to the Western peak from the Garvash pass via a Category 2B route. Before the war, both complete traverses of the massif were made, Category 4B:

• 1937 — L. Nadezhdin and V. Nazarov — from west to east,
• 1938 — A. Zolotarev, F. Kropf, V. Mauer, and V. Nesterov — from east to west; and in 1946 — a first ascent via the "board" to the Western peak with a subsequent traverse of the massif to the east, Category 5A — D. Gudkov, M. Zvezdkin, M. Chertkov, G. Odnoblyudov.
