Route description

From the Slyudyanka valley, the substantial walking traverse climbs to Chertovy Gate and follows western ridges towards Bosan. After the summit excursion it returns to the onward route, continues northwest and descends towards Tibelti’s southern approach. Woodland valley, open divides and a named summit provide a complete change of mountain impressions. The programme finishes before a verified road or transport meeting: add the approach to your required Tibelti location separately. The large traverse needs independent stays, water and alternative exits. Fast sporting travel in a historical account does not set an ordinary group’s pace. Preserve energy for the entire ridge passage and a safe conclusion.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
For experienced independent walkers. Ridge travel, the summit excursion and the extended descent require endurance. Confirm road departure, stays and access rules beforehand.

Nearby

Tibelti’s centre, the road bridge and transport meeting locations lie beyond this finish and need a separate approach. Margasanskaya Hill and Margasan Peak are outside the traverse. Chersky Peak and Heart Lake are separate excursions.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainДанные по набору высоты уточняются.
SurfaceImproved surface 32%, Dirt 26%, Artificial surface 10%, Unknown 31%.
Риски Check present crossings and water in the Slyudyanka valley. Ridge climbs, stones, dwarf pine and poor visibility increase effort. Avoid unstable ladders at Bosan’s upper boulders and do not rely on historical structures. Preserve food and time during the descent towards Tibelti; check the road approach and any further crossings independently.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Расчётное время в пути 1 d 4 h
С запасом на остановки + 30–60 мин
A day-by-day plan is not established for this multiday traverse. Confirm stays, water, safe exits and road departure, then allocate stages. Historical sporting duration does not describe an ordinary present programme. Complete duration is unknown.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
Choose walking after checking snow, river levels and the mountain forecast. Prolonged rain complicates valleys and fog complicates ridges. Water may be limited higher up later in summer; autumn snow requires programme changes.

What to bring

Базовый список для комфортного похода
Mountain boots and wind and rain protection.
Warm clothing, independent sleeping equipment and first aid.
Water for the ridges, spare food and water treatment.
Map with exits, communications, spare power and an agreed road meeting.
