the Kirtyk Valley is followed to Kirtykaush Pass, 3242m, and down to the Malka
river and the Jilasu mineral springs near the 40m Sultan waterfall. The Malka
is followed, then over Buruntash Pass, 3072m, to Khurzuk village at 1315m. From
here the Ullu-Kam river is followed to Khotiutau Pass, 3456m. The Azau Glacier
and then river are then descended to return to Terskol and the Baksan Valley. There is no hut system on the route and tents must be carried.
