- Himik via the Left rib of the North tower of the North ridge (combined route by A. Naumov, cat. 4B, fig. 5, 6). The path from the Djailyk alpine camp (group of 4-8 people) to the Yunom glacier with an initial bivouac at the "Sredne-Kichkidarskiye nochyovki" is described in route 73. From the nochyovki, cross the Yunom glacier to the right and ascend the gentle snow slope to reach the snow-covered talus terrace on the left side of the Left rib of the North tower of Himik peak. Traverse the talus ledges of the terrace to the left, beneath the Left rib of the North tower.
From the ledge, ascend 80 m up the moderately difficult rock of the rib to a vertical wall. Below the wall, make a short traverse to the right and ascend the moderately difficult rock of a 15-20 m steep internal corner to reach the wall.
From here, ascend 160-180 m up and to the left through moderately difficult rock ("live" stones), passing:
- internal corners,
- ledges,
- alternating with short walls of above moderate difficulty and difficult rock,
- beneath the left side of a huge inclined slab - a balcony.
Ascend a difficult 15-20 m wall to reach the slab - balcony, and traverse it to its upper left corner.
From the slab-balcony, ascend 80-100 m up and to the left through a chimney - crevice, then traverse along a ledge to reach the right chimney - crevice and ascend another 80-100 m.
Bypass the rock plug in the upper part:
- to the left via a wall,
- above it - traverse along a ledge to the left,
- ascend a difficult 3-meter wall to a ledge.
From the ledge, ascend simple and moderately difficult rock ("live" stones) to reach a platform beneath a 4-meter Grey wall, which is overcome directly via difficult rock. Then, ascend 45-50 m up and to the right through simple and moderately difficult snow-covered rock ("live" stones) to a platform on the summit ridge of the North tower. From the platform, ascend 70-80 m along the simple, snow-covered, gentle rock of the ridge to reach the North tower. Descend 60-80 m from the tower along the ice-snow ridge to a col (cornice). Bivouac on the col. 8-10 hours from the initial bivouac.
From the col, ascend a gentle, then steeply steepening 180-200 m sharp North ridge, followed by an 80-meter ice wall to reach the cushion of an ice fall on the North ridge.
Group V. Stepanov, after ascending 100-120 m along the sharp North ridge, traversed 50-60 m to the left along a steep ice-snow slope (avalanche risk) to reach rocky outcrops. From here, they ascended moderately difficult rock of the 1st outcrop, then a steep ice-snow slope, followed by the 2nd rocky outcrop, and finally an ice-snow slope - ridge to reach the cushion of an ice fall on the North ridge.
Then, ascend the long snow-ice North ridge (closed crevices, cornices) to reach the summit of Himik.
