| alexclimb | Route Climbed: North Date Climbed: 15 July 2005  | |
| Started early to avoid stonefall danger as more as possible. 3 A.M. from the BC on 2800 and reached the summit at 8 A.M. The weather was perfect. The GPS showed 4780 at the brim of the crater but the opposite (southern) side of it looked one hundred meters higher but was unaccessible from our side. Easy snow climbing but must be very attentive because of falling stones. All necessary equipment was crampons, ski-poles and helmets | |

| palic | Route Climbed: northa-east, ski descent directly to north Date Climbed: May 12, 2002 | |
| Petr Novak and I climbed up Klyuchevskaja with crampoons with skis on our backpacks. I had to finish due to health troubles (also bad snow conditions) at approximately 3500 m. Petr reached the summit from BC (2070 m) in six hours and he spent two hours on the north side of crater to find in fog the highest point using GPS. Then, he descended on skis directly to the north - very icy and stony slope... | |
