- Bokos Western (4060 m) via Western Ridge (ice and snow route, category 2B, fig. 29). The path from the CSP of Tsey region or from the village of Dzinaga (group of 4-20 people) to the initial bivouac on the middle plateau of the Western branch of the Karaugom plateau is described in route 83. From the bivouac (closed crevasses), approach the wide leftmost snow couloir rising to the Western ridge of the Western Bokos peak, to the right (east) of the Big rocky gendarme. From the plateau, ascend a steep 120-150-meter snow slope to the bergschrund and cross it in the middle part via a snow bridge. Continue up a steep snow slope (avalanche risk) for 150-200 m to the Western Ridge saddle (belay required). On the saddle, turn right and ascend the snow-covered rocks of the Western Ridge, then a steep 80-100-meter ice and snow slope (running belay) to the Northern Ridge (cornices). Turn right here and:

- then ascend simple, destroyed, and snow-covered rocks to reach the "Western Bokos" summit.
From the plateau - 3-4 hours.
Descend via the ascent route. Naumov A. F. Karaugom, Digoria, Tsey (Central Caucasus), M., "Fizkultura i sport", 1976.

Route Description: траверс
Traverse Zapadny - Tsentralny - Vostochny Bokos, a combined route of 3A category of difficulty, duration 10-12 hours.
- Bocos Western — Eastern (combined route by V. Miklashevsky, category III of complexity). The path from the CSP of the Tsey region or from the village of Dzinaga (group of 4–8 people) to the summit of Western Bocos is described in routes 131, 132. From the Western summit, there is a small descent along the snowy Eastern ridge in the direction of the Central summit. Then, along the occasionally snow-covered simple rocks of the wide, long, and destroyed ridge with numerous, straightforward, несложными gendarmes, approach under the sharp Central gendarme. From under it:
- descend 30–40 m along steep rocks (loose stones — piton protection) to the right;
- then, along ledges, bypass the gendarme to exit into a narrow, steep couloir. Along rocks of medium difficulty (many loose stones — piton protection, key point of the route) of the narrow couloir, ascend 30–40 m to the ridge behind the Central gendarme. Along the simple, long, destroyed, and snow-covered rocky ridge, overcoming numerous gendarmes straightforward, reach the summit of Central Bocos. From the Central summit, along the simple ridge, descend to a wide snowy saddle. From the saddle, along the simple snowy, then along the wide, gently sloping Western ridge:
- ascend to the summit of Eastern Bocos. Descent along the Eastern ridge or the Southern slope (see route 129 or 130).
