316. Lederisht via the South Ridge (the route is combined, category of difficulty 1B, fig. 32, 43). From the Nakra village cross the eponymous river and ascend the trail on the right side of the gorge until the third, large stream of the Lederisht River flowing from the right slope of the gorge. From Nkra village 3–4 hours. Here, turn right and follow the trail on the right bank of Lederisht, then Leyarag, further along the right-bank moraine to the site at its end. From the moraine, on the right side of the Leyarag glacier (ice seracs, avalanches, falling stones), reach the upper snow plateau. From the plateau, via moderately difficult rocks (gullies) of the counterfort or further left, via a steep ice-snow slope, bypass the icefall descending from the Kvish Pass and above it, on the

319. Leiraq via the West Ridge (combined route, T. Suprunova, category 3A complexity, fig. 32, 43). On the right side of the Leiraq Glacier (milestone 316) ascend along the northern slopes of the Unnamed Peak to the saddle in the West Ridge of Leiraq peak — the Alpinist Pass. Here, turn right and, crossing the bergschrund, ascend the steep snow-ice slope or, to the left, along the scree and easy rocks to the Alpinist Pass. Bivouac. 5–7 hours from the village of Nakra. At the pass, turn left and reach the West Ridge rocks of Leiraq peak. Follow the straightforward 200-meter West Ridge, overcoming three small gendarmes directly (with protection), to reach a plateau with a small lake. From the lake, ascend a 30–40-meter wall of moderate difficulty (using pitons) to a plateau. Then, traverse 30–40 meters of steep rocks of moderate difficulty («unstable rocks», with protection); subsequently, follow the straightforward rocky, partially snow-covered (with cornices) West Ridge with an ice pitch to reach the summit of Leiraq. 5–6 hours from the Alpinist Pass.
