Crimea, Kuba Kaya. "Marsala" Route, 5B

Kuba Kaya, along the left edge of the tower v. Kuba Kaya Tsentralnaya, 5B, (S. Pugachev — P. Shvets, 2008)

The technically challenging part of the route follows a pronounced, sometimes overhanging internal corner in the left part of the Central tower. Mainly, it's A1–A2 level aid climbing, with the upper 30 meters being IV-V category climbing.

The length of this part of the route is 100 m. 4 pitons were left behind - at 12 m, 35 m, 45 m, and 70 m.

It wasn't possible to fully commit and feel some kind of extreme; everything was calm and reliable.

If you "connect" the upper part with the lower part of the "9 Marta" route, you get a full-fledged Crimean 5B.
