Kilse-Burun — 17.

Right edge of the central wall part (classic), 4B (V, 45 m)

This is one of the oldest routes in the area and was described in the guidebook by O. Grippa and V. Goncharov "Alps in Crimea", published in 1969.

The approach to the route starts left of the campsite. Traverse the talus slope (section R0) to a large solitary pine tree under the wall (R0: 100 m, 30°, unclimbed).

On section R0–R1, climb the sheer wall to a small tree. From it, go up and right to a juniper tree (R0–R1: 20 m, 80°, V; 30 m, 75°, IV).

There are two variations of the ascent. The first one, described earlier in the mentioned guidebook, goes left through a grotto via a large dihedral, and the second, currently more popular, goes straight up.

First, we will describe the older route variation. On section R1–R2, climb 60 m up and left to a grotto via easy rock (R1–R2: 80 m, 60°, II).

On section R2–R3, climb 40 m up a wide dihedral. Then, go up and right 20 m (section R3–R4) to the start of the next dihedral (R2–R3: 60 m, 70°, III+; R3–R4: 20 m, 75°, IV).

On section R4–R5, climb 40 m up a long dihedral (R4–R5: 40 m, 70°, III).

On section R5–R6, climb 20 m up a dihedral (R5–R6: 20 m, 80°, IV). On section R6–R7, traverse left onto broken rocks and climb up and left 20 m onto a ledge with a tree under a reddish cave (R6–R7: 20 m, 65°, III).

On section R7–R8, traverse left 30 m along the ledge, bypassing the overhanging part of the wall, to the base of a long, steep chimney (R7–R8: 30 m, 50°, I).

On section R8–R9, climb up the chimney to a small tree. From it, go up and right onto a ledge under an overhanging wall (R8–R9: 20 m, 75°, IV). On section R9–R10, first climb 5 m up the overhanging wall to a dihedral turning into a chimney. Then, climb 5 m up a difficult chimney. After that, go right onto a flake and climb up its sheer ridge under the sub-summit wall (R9–R10: 45 m, 80°, V).

On section R1–yaila, climb moderately difficult rocks to the summit (R10–yaila: 30 m, 60°, II).
