Brief explanation of the table
Section 0–1 — ice-firn slope, porous, passed in lumps.
1–2 — rocks of medium complexity, very destroyed, passed without pitons.
2–3 — rocky ridge, steep, rocks destroyed, possible rockfall.
3–7 — wall with small holds, not very steep. Belaying mainly with pitons. Rocks destroyed, rockfall possible in the lower part. Very difficult to organize reliable belaying.
7–13 — Section is a granite belt, very monolithic. Placement elements almost not used. In the middle part, the belt transitions into a bastion "small". It is bypassed on the left along a very complex wall. Exits onto a scree ledge.
13–16 — rocky wall, rocks destroyed, climbing not complicated, but very dangerous, many loose rocks.
16–19 — giant chimney. In the lower part — monolithic. At the exit, rocks destroyed. Passed using ladders, placement elements, and rock of the step.
19–28 — schist belt. Very destroyed. Belaying unreliable.
28–31 — rocky wall. Climbing very complex. Monolithic. In the upper part, deviation to the right. Cracks not large. Mostly petal-shaped pitons and "Hexes" used.
31–34 — chimney, overhanging in the upper part.
34–37 — rocky wall, very slippery. Climbing complicated by constantly falling snow.
37–38 — cornice — exit to the "belly". Everything is slippery.
38–39 — bypass on the right of the "belly". Rocks overhanging. Climbing very complex. This is the 1st piton section of the route.
Section 39–40 — rocky wall. Monolithic.
40–47 — Crack. In the lower part narrow. In the upper part transitions into a chimney, which leads to a giant cornice. Climbing very complex.
47–48 — Giant cornice. 2nd piton section. Very complex. Passed using rope ladders.
48–50 — rocky wall. Destruction. Exit to firn.
50–52 — firn slope. Ice in some places.
52–53 — ridge, ice.
53–54 — rocky ridge, not steep.
54–55 — ice slope.
