Description
The description is compiled based on materials from the training part of Ullutau alplager.
Route description: from the "Ullutau" alpine base (group 4 - 20 people) cross the Adyrsu river by the bridge, turn right and descend along the trail to reach the Koyavgan stream. Cross it and follow the trail on the right bank of the stream (there is a waterfall on the left) steeply upwards, then, having passed the green areas, approach the right-bank moraine. Along the moraine, bypassing the glacier tongue and its rugged part from the right, reach the upper plateau of the glacier and follow the right side of it, and then ascend snowy scree (avalanches, rockfall from the slopes of Koyavgan peak) to the Southern (right) saddle of Koyavgan pass. From the "Ullutau" alpine base, it takes 4-4.5 hours.
On the pass, turn slightly to the right and reach the rocks of the Southern ridge of Koyavgan peak.
From here, follow the poorly defined, wide, steep, and heavily destroyed ("live") Southern ridge, bypassing small gendarmes on the right, to approach the Big Gendarme. Bypass it on the left and then, on the left side of the heavily destroyed, steep Southern ridge (rockfall), ascend to the summit of Koyavgan (3877 m).
From the pass, it takes 1.5 hours
- Descent follows the ascent route
- The route is dangerous due to rockfall!
