1st day. From the "Phelda" camp the path goes along the right orographic slope of Adyl-su to the "Jan-tugan" camp along the road and further along the trail to the old corral approximately 1 km from the Jan-tugan hostel. Then the trail turns left and goes along a steep grassy slope between two forest areas. After ascending the grassy slope between two forest areas, we come out onto the talus and then along a faintly expressed ridge we ascend to the bivouac site below the V.Ts.S.P.S. pass. The journey to the overnight stay takes 4–5 hours. 2nd day. From the bivouac, we exit onto the V.Ts.S.P.S. pass. We descend along the steep talus onto the Kurmy glacier. Along the glacier, we approach a wide couloir coming from the pilot-shaped ridge between the peaks Andyrchi Main and M.N.R. South. Along the wide couloir,

49. Nakra via North-West Ridge (Route 2B cat. dif.). The path from the "Baksan" alp camp (group 4, 20 people) to the Donguzorun false pass col is described in routes 44 and 48. From the col, go left and 300–400 m up the heavily destroyed simple rocky North-West Ridge to a site below the first rocky ascent of Nakra peak. This part of the ridge can be bypassed on the right by descending from the col 15–20 m to the south, and traversing along the ridge to reach the first snowy ascent. Here, turn left and rise up the snowy slope to the sites on the ridge. The initial bivouac is on the sites. From the "Baksan" alp camp, 9–10 hours. From the sites (without backpacks), ascent along the heavily

25. Syltran via the East Ridge (Route 1B cat.). The path from the settlement of Verkhny Baksan to the initial bivouac by Syltrangel Lake is described in Route 22. From the bivouac by the lake, ascend along the right bank of the stream to the exit onto a small unnamed glacier flowing down the northern slopes of the East Ridge of Syltran peak to Syltrangel Lake. Walk up the glacier towards a solitary rock among the scree slopes descending from the East Ridge of Syltran. To the right of the rock, via a scree-filled couloir (rockfall hazard!), ascend to the East Ridge of Syltran. From the lake, 3–4 hours. Here, turn right and ascend over snowfields, then over scree and heavily broken simple rocks of the East Ridge. Traverse large rock towers - gendarmes on the left (with protection!). Further, over scree and simple rocks of the ridge or its left side, ascend to the summit of Syltran. From the col, 2–2.5 hours. Descent follows the ascent route. Duration of the route is 3 days. “Baksan Valley”, A. F. Naumov
