Itinerary
The group will gather at Malyovitsa hotel at 6 a.m. or in Malyovitsa hut at 7 a.m. By your preference you can spend the night at either of both places.From the hut starts a comparatively easy path going up to First and Second Terrace. From Second Terrace we will start a steep ascent by the Northwest slopes of Peak Kamilata, which will lead us to the circus under the North Face of Peak Zlia Zub and Peak Orlovets. There we will take a short rest, during which we will put on crampons, harnesses and helmets. From here on our way goes on straight through the gulley between Zlia Zub and Orlovets. For safety reasons we will pass the dangerous areas before the col one by one. When we reach the col we will tie to the rope and in order to reach the South Ridge, we will traverse under the South Face of Zlia Zub. The next 20 meters are the most difficult part of our route, but also the most beautiful. After we climb this rocky section we will reach the top by a slant snowy crest.
We will descent the same way. If people in the group are well prepared and the snow conditions allow it, we will reach Malyovitsa hut in the early afternoon.
