The first ascent to the summit of Belalakaya was made in 1904 by a group of mountain climbers and guides during an expedition of the Russian Mining Society to the upper reaches of the Teberda River. The group was led by the chairman of the Russian Mining Society, Alexander von Meck, and included the Swiss climber Andreas Fischer, along with mountain guides Christian Yossi and Yani Buzurganov. On July 29, 1904, the group successfully reached the summit for the first time. The peak has a height of 3861 meters, and to its east is the Malaya Belalakaya peak, which is 3740 meters tall.
