 Their route up the SW Ridge is no longer used as the normal route which is now the North Ridge graded 4B (Russian Grading).Starting from Misses Kosh the ridge is gained by first crossing the West Ridge of Misses-Tau then continuing to the Russian Bivouac located by a hanging glacier descending from the North Ridge of Dykhtau, 4 hours from Misses-Kosh.Once a notch between Misses-Tau and Dykhtau is gained, the North Ridge is followed to the summit.
