Photo 7. Ninth rope. (eighth and ninth — key ropes of the route)

The leader at the beginning of the ninth rope, on the section R36–R37, one of the most difficult sections of the entire route:

• reverse relief,
• no good holds,
• climbing mainly on friction.

Further R37–R38 — a vertical wall, passed to the left, difficult climbing and poor relief for protection. The photo is taken from the belay station at R35.

Photo 8. Tenth rope.

The leader is on the section R42–R43, passing steep internal corner. The photo is taken from a camera located on the helmet. Since the camera has a wide-format lens, the space in the photo is somewhat distorted, the rock seems more gentle than it actually is.

Photo 9. Eleventh rope.

The leader is on the section R45–R46, a wall with good relief, moderate difficulty climbing, moving towards a lowering. The photo is taken from the belay station at R45.
