Brief Explanation of Table I

The route is laid through the eastern counterfort of p. Makhabbat. The exit to the counterfort's ridge is via the southeastern wall. On both sides, the counterfort is bounded by steep snow-ice couloirs (rockfall hazard!), making the route unambiguous (detouring individual sections is impossible).

The peak's rocks are composed of strong, monolithic rocks that are little susceptible to erosion and are, therefore, very smooth and difficult to traverse.

The route is combined: the shady orientation of some sections of the wall and ridge results in the presence of steep snow and formed ice.

0–I The route begins with overcoming short walls connected by wide inclined shelves. Snow is present in some areas.

I–2 Ascend via a snow patch to a wall, initially overcoming it directly, then moving left along a small ledge, up a short internal corner, and under an overhanging cornice to the right onto a wide shelf.

2–3. Left of a smooth, steep internal corner, ascend a steep wall to reach a chimney filled with formed ice. Climb the chimney to a stopper. Above is a convenient belay spot. This is the crux section.

3–4. Ascend rocks of moderate difficulty to reach a steep snow-ice slope.

4–5. A section of steep formed ice requires chopping steps. An ice screw is necessary for belaying. The ice leads to a chimney with a stopper.

5–6. The chimney is formed by a large flake — a "quill." The chimney contains much snow and formed ice. Climb the chimney to a stopper, then to a shelf on the other side of the "quill."

6–7 Traverse smooth rocks along a shelf under a wall, then ascend the wall to the ridge.

7–8–9 The ridge leads to a sharp snowy crest (drops on both sides!). Follow the crest to a steep rocky ascent.

9–10 Traverse smooth rocks to the right along steep snow.

10–11 A wall with heavily snow-covered rocks. Exit to the ridge.

11–12 Ascend the ridge to an 80-meter tower.

12–13 Traverse steep, smooth rocks of the tower to the left along shelves to a chimney.

13–14 The chimney contains formed ice. Exit to a shelf, then 10 meters to the left.

14–15 A steep wall with convenient handholds leads to the tower.

15–16. Behind the tower is a gendarme. Traverse it to the right along the way via snow.

16–17–18. A wall, then a ridge lead to the shoulder of the summit.

18–19. Ascend to the summit via rocks of moderate difficulty.

Descend from the summit via a scree-filled couloir to the southeast.
