The eastern slopes of Malak Polezhan are very steep, at places vertical, grassy, and with screes of unstable rock material. The north-western slope is a massive scree composed of flagstone typical of the region. Its lowest section reaches the Upper Gazey Lake. To the south-west of the summit there is a small cirque facing the valley of the river Valyavitsa. In western direction there is a short ridge that links Malak Polezhan with the neighbouring summit Gazey (2,761 m).
