You can climb the Otkliknoy Crest by its west side. Even so this side is covered by taluses, it is more gentle, while the east side of the mountain, which can be seen from the upper path, is almost vertical. From the top of the mountain you can have a wonderful view on the whole Taganai, as well as on the faraway South Urals taiga.
