It is necessary to cross it as early as possible and at maximum speed. After "pillow" there is the rocky stretch, then the crest where C1 is set (about 6-7 hours). Usage of 2-3 ropes.

Climb to Camp 2 (5800 m)

Climb to Camp 4 (6900 m) or (6700 m).

Early start and climb on the northern snow/ice slope of Mt. Peak Dushanbe (7-8 hrs). Climbing in partially roped. An ascent is technically easy. After ascent to Mt. Peak Dushanbe (7000 m) descend to the Camp- 6900.
