Mountain description
If you plan to climb independently, arrange your transport to the base in advance; the route follows a dry riverbed. The ascent is gradual and step-like up to 2000 m, after which it becomes steep. The descent path differs slightly: below 2000 m, there is a well-trodden path through scree to the right, and descending via the soft scree is faster. The ascent takes approximately 6-8 hours, and the descent takes 3-5 hours.
