3.1. All sections were climbed with free climbing; on the second rope before section 5, a category 5 difficulty, 8 m, a 10 mm bolt was hammered. As station R2, the station of the "Po nozhu" route was used; also on section 3 (R2–R3), a bolt from the "Kosyк" route was used.
| Section № | Description | Photo № |
|---|---|---|
| R0–R1 | 55 m. From the large juniper upwards through the crack to the intersection with the "Gammii Wall" route. Sometimes rockfall hazard – a large lying stone above the crack can be bypassed on the right. Station on a juniper bush. 15 m 2, 40 m 3. | 4 |
| R1–R2 | First upwards 25 m, then to the right at 2 o'clock in the direction of R2 station of the "Po nozhu" route. It is also R2 of "Zagadka". 7–8 m before the station, a bolt was hammered. 30 m 2, 22 m 3, 8 m 5. | 5 |
| R2–R3 | 45 m. Traverse to the right at 3 o'clock to a bush (pine). Protection is problematic. Bypass the bush from above, then to the right upwards at 1 o'clock to the bolt of the "Kosyк" route, after the bolt to the right to a hollow, then slightly descended to a large juniper. 45 m 4+. | 6 |
| R3–R4 | 30 m. Simple transition under the base of the gutter between two summits. Station on a tree – yew berry. 15 m no protection, 15 m 2. | 7 |

At the exit from the gutter lie stones that can be dislodged by a rope on the second climber, who is recommended to move away from the line of fall; it is possible to climb to the right. In rain, the section is rockfall hazardous. 10 m 2, 30 m 3, 10 m 1. | 8 |
| R5–R6 | R6–R7. 57 m. Upwards along the watercourse on its right part, then along simple terrain slightly to the left in the direction of the stone "circus". Station before the inflection on a pine. 15 m 2+, 35 m no protection, 10 m 1. | |
