The slopes of the mountain are heavily glaciated. They are most famous for the dormant volcanoes that are hidden under the ice caps.
On September 12, 1888, English climber John Garford Cockin with Swiss guides Ulrich Almer and Christian Roth, were the first to climb East Janga, who had climbed the main ridge a few days earlier, and later - Ushba and Dykh-Tau. The most difficult, 5 B category route was first traced by Georgian mountaineers . The first ascent to the main Janga also belongs to foreign climbers.
