• Across the clearing, up at 11 o'clock in the direction of the mountain
• Approach via terraces overgrown with forest, no clear trail

R1–R2: 60 m, I–n/k

• Via ledges and easy rocks, exit into a cirque, to the base of a weakly expressed counterfort
• Station on a tree

R2–R3: 60 m, I–II

Up the convex part of the counterfort, climbing is simple, the rock is generally monolithic, but there are "live" stones on the ledges. Station on a tree.

R2–R3: 20 m, I

From the tree up to a ledge, along the ledge left to the corner. Station on personal anchors.

R5–R6: 50 m 10 m III 40 m I–II From the station up, to a small chimney, climb the chimney and then up to the right, holding to the counterfort. Station on bolts.

R6–R7: 40 m, I From the station up via simple rocks, exit onto the yayla.

Descent:

• The simplest and fastest descent option — to Ty­lo­voe village
• Straight down from the yayla
• Then through the forest, just 15 minutes.

If you need to return to YBC, move along the ridge to the east, cross the second peak of Kalanikh Kaya, descend into a large depression overgrown with forest, at the lowest point turn right and move down, no clear trail. From the exit point on the yayla to the Sevastopol-Yalta highway: 1 hour.
