The description of the approach is given in the section of the 3A route on the right part of the Western Edge bastion. One needs to approach the bastion in its central part - where the grassy slope rises highest into a rocky cirque. The inner corner continues straight, but the ascent starts to the left of it, along the wall, and even further left - into a small corner, leading to a wide grassy ledge. Further, move left and upwards through a system of inner corners (sections R7–R12) to the top of the protruding edge, where it's convenient to organize a second belay station. From here, cross a steep wall (sections R13–R15) to the talus shelves of the upper part of the bastion. Along the shelves, move right onto the ridge onto the 3A route on the right part img-1.jpeg of the Western Edge bastion. Move along it to the summit. Descent to the south via 1Б.
