Peak Marshal Tukhachevsky (4020 m)

Via the Southeastern Ridge, Category III-B–IV-A

Peak Marshal Tukhachevsky (4020 m above sea level) is located in the high-mountainous Tepli group of the Lateral Ridge of the Central Caucasus. The peak is situated in the northern spur of Kolota (4168 m) between the "4010 m" peak to the south and the "4036 m" peak to the north, on the watershed of the Arkhon-Don and Tsazi-Don rivers. There is no information about ascents to the peak. A steep rocky ridge descends from the peak to the southeast, which was traversed during the first ascent by R.P. Proskuryakov's group in September 1971, made in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Soviet Guards. The path from Ordzhonikidze passes along the highway through the village of Dzuarikau and further along the Fiagdon River (Kurtatinskoye gorge) to the mouth of the Tsazi-Don River, a kilometer south of the highest village in the gorge, Kharischan. A high-clearance vehicle can drive through the village of Kharischan along the road to Arkhon Pass (Dzhimi North Pass), before which a dirt road, built by geologists, turns left into the Tsazi-Don gorge, which can save 1.5-2 hours of walking. For a kilometer, the trail winds along the right bank of the Tsazi-Don River, then crosses a bridge and continues along the left bank of the river to a dead end, past a small lake, through moraine rises - a total of 4-5 hours of walking to a convenient bivouac site in a wide hollow among the left-bank moraines near the Tsazi Glacier plateau (2900 m above sea level). Two campsites are laid out here, and a small lake is located nearby in a deep pocket between the moraines. To return to the bivouac on time, it's necessary to start the ascent no later than 4:00 AM.

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.
