| With two clients climbed until the beginning of the Crest and decided not to go further because of the very dangerous snow conditions. Snow was deep and soft, no possible ways to organize secure belaying. Great snow cornices to the South side. The Ushba icefall was quite easy but two days before us there happened gigantic avalanche which begun just in the upper seracs and covered all the icefall to the glacier at its beginning | |

| I have climbed this peak in 2004 with my friend Tori (both of us from Romania) and I have to say that if you are lucky (with snow conditions) this route is nice ice climbing route. If you go in Caucasus and you are fit enough it`s a shame to not try this peak. In Schelda valley we have meet Alex and I have to say that is a nice person and if you need a guide in the area contact him. | |

| Very difficult weather conditions (strong wind, snowstorm, lack of visibility). Summit crest was very bad, X-type carnices. On this part of the route five climbers from St. Petersburg have died one month after our climb... Bodies were not found | |
