The approach to the route begins from lateral moraines of the Tuyuk-Su Glacier. The route begins from underneath the western wall of the top, under the so called “striped vest” – rocks shaped like stairs, below the bridge between Peak Mayakovskogo and the Ordzhonikidze Pass. The ascent to the first step is on the right, along a non-steep ice-and-snow slope, and goes out to a broad ramp. Traverse to the left along the ramp to a flat internal angle which goes out to the ridge. There is another ramp here, whence the ascent to the ridge begins

R0 - R1 A rock wall, not difficult but steep. The wall goes out to a ramp where spotting across the ledge can be set up.

R1 - R2 Above the ramp – a steep internal angle to be passed to the right.

R2 - R3 Move up along the chimney. Then, after the ramp, the route goes right to a narrow corridor where in its upper part there is a plug. The chimney goes out to the ridge where you can set up a station on the ledge.

R3 - R4 Move along the ridge, about 100 m . A steep rock wall in the middle of the place, to be passed on the right.

R4 - R5 An easy rock wall – 20 m.

R5 - R6 100- 150 m of destroyed rocks going out to the top. The ascent goes along the eastern part of the ridge.
