• The reliable reference point is a sole deciduous tree (pistachio tree) on R2.

• On the traverse from R1 you meet 2 unusual bolts (their length is 220 мм ). If the ring has not weaken since 1986, use it.

• Exit from the end of the traverse on the balcony under R2 was made without any interim belay points. Ledges for holds are deep, but covered with soil on 10 cm.

• Belay R4 is on the inclined slabs of the right wall of the Main couloir it is safe of stone-slips.

• From the Big ledge you can suddenly ascend on the summit along the both ridges of the peak. N-Western one is better.

• For the descent from the peak it is better to go through the saddle-point to the plateau. Northern couloir is bad for the descent to The Lost World because of the stone-slips!
