Only one route has been laid to the summit — on February 16, 1987, a group consisting of V. Suviga, Yu. Gorbunov, S. Ovcharenko, and A. Studenin ascended to the summit of Kumbel via the southern slope. Ascents via the Eastern and Western ridges and from the north to the summit have not been made.

Description of Category 1B route to Mestiа summit via the south-west ridge from Adyr-Su valley, with illustrations and detailed path information.
Mestia route via the Southwest Ridge, Category 1B
Route Description:
From the "Djailyk" base camp* past the "Ullu-Tau" recreation center and further along the trail along the right (orographically) bank from Adyr-Su to the moraine rises to the left of the Adyr-Su glacier tongue. The first of these has Mestian overnight stays.
Climbing to the next rise, we reach the glacier and cross it in the direction of the large hitching post on which the Mestian hut is located; we go around the hitching post on the left and climb onto it. There are small crevices under the hitching post.
From the Mestia Hut, we ascend a steep firn slope, and to the right of the rocky ridge, we reach the glacier. The path continues along the glacier, which is usually covered with a thick layer of snow. Large glacier crevices are bypassed on the right as we proceed.
Further, after a steep ascent, we again emerge onto a large firn plateau, along which we move in the direction of the Mestia Pass. From the Mestia Pass, we turn left and move across the vast firn plateau towards the snow pyramid of Mestia-Tau. Crevices are possible on the left as we proceed. Descent is via the ascent route.
