— Ascent to Kulay Dzhovanon Peak

via the NE ridge — Cat. 2B The ascent to the peak is made from the "Zelenaya Polyana" bivouac, located below Bivachnaya Peak. From the camp, one should go up along the stream flowing from the cirque of Khamsai, Ular, Khyrss, and Kulay Dzhovanon peaks. Bypassing a small lake, exit onto the firn fields of the Kulay Dzhovanon Glacier, and follow them to the visible saddle between Khyrss Peak and the northeastern ridge of Kulay Dzhovanon. The saddle is snowy, with breaks in the summer, and crevasses. The ascent to the saddle is relatively gentle, but the path is blocked by a bergschrund, which is overcome via snow bridges. From the saddle, the ridge is visible up to the first peak, sometimes called Maly Kulay Dzhovanon. The route from the saddle begins directly along the ridge without detours. Having traversed two rope lengths along it, approach low rock spires. It is impractical to bypass them due to significant height loss. The ascent between these spires via a narrow cleft leads to the northern side of the ridge. On the northern side of the ridge, there are many wide and narrow ledges that lead directly to the pre-summit rise, bypassing two complex gendarmes. When detouring at the top, there are short sections of relatively difficult climbing with sufficient outcrops for reliable belays. Upon reaching the pre-summit shoulder, the final meters involve overcoming a rock "plug." From the shoulder platform, the further path to the summit is visible. From the north, the summit tower drops with sheer walls to the glacier, while from the south, steep, rough slabs cut by cracks are visible.

The arch is located to the right and above (I50 m) of the cave. There is a control tour on the arch. The exit from the cave to the right seems easier, but having passed a relatively simple rope, one has to overcome three ropes of difficult climbing with an exit to the same main arch. The right variant of the exit from the cave is more complicated than the left one. From the control tour upwards along grey rocks with black streaks and further along the system of shelves and rocks of medium difficulty to the left and upwards to the grey-yellow rock protruding from the wall (three ropes from the tour). From the arch between the wall and the grey-yellow rock
