Brief description of the approach to the route

PATH MAP

Departure from the base camp located near the lake, near the confluence of the Moskvina and Walter glaciers at 11:00. The path goes along the stream between Peak Moskvina and the slopes of MPTI through the talus moraines to the upper reaches of Peak Moskvina (1 hour 30 minutes). Then we go through the open glacier to the left. We bypass several wide crevasses. We cross the glacier and go up towards the ridge leading to the route. At 20:00 we stop for the night on a convenient shoulder of the snowy-ice slope of the ridge. The site is comfortable, there is water. The height is about 5800 m.
