The road to the summit, also known as Shamaldi-Jilga Ashuu pass, is gravel but in good conditions. Depending on snow conditions short-term winter locks are possible. The climb is simply terrible, with a notorius lack of oxygen that tests the organisms and a high degree of steepness. Most people feel altitude sickness at around 2,500-2,800 meters.
