| There are nice
views from the near-top slopes of Khan Tengri to the summits around upper
part of S. Inilchek gl. |
 |
| There are also
good view on the spurs of Kokshaal-Too range to the East from Pobeda peak
(the far right summit) seen from the same slope. |
 |
| Getting start ascend
to the Pobeda peak by the W. ridge is on the same way as climbing the
N. Dikiy pass on the acclimatization route - walking on the Zvezdochka
gl. |
 |
| Close to the Dikiy
icefall the glacial camp was established in order to have the whole next
day for climbing the icefall. There is nice view to the North Face of
Pobeda peak from there. |
 |
| The first sunrise
rays are painting the Pobeda summit in different shades of the pink color... |
 |
| This is Chon Teren
pass - the start point for more rarely used Pobeda climbing route from
the East - well seen from the glacial camp site. |
 |
| The key obstacle
on the way to the col of Dikiy pass (5500 m, 3B CD) is the 1st step of
the icefall. |
 |
| The usual way to
climb up this step is using fixed rope. |
 |
| Take a side look
at the climbing the icefall... |
 |
| The upper part
of the icefall (up to the col) doesn't consist any technical difficulties. |
