Today we climbed "Mezhdubolie" - a new route on Merdven-Kaya (Uarch-Kaya). No bolts!

The idea to climb this beautiful and untouched line between Alina and RedFox on Merdven-Kaya (Uarch-Kaya) came to my mind a week ago, when we were climbing the "Alina" route. Right from the bottom, there's excellent terrain for climbing and natural protection. So we decided to tackle this line.

Today, the idea was realized. An excellent route, pure technical climbing, no bolts, no pre-drilled holes, no prior preparation, honestly from the bottom up in 2 hours 0 minutes...

The third pitch - we climbed straight up - very logical. We intersected the RedFox line, but didn't encounter a single bolt on the way until we reached the R5 station of RedFox. We finished the last pitch on it. The whole climb took 2 hours.

Useful gear:

• several small stoppers
• several small aliens
• a set of cams from 0.5 to 4

No hammer or pitons were needed.

An excellent route for those who can climb and belay, but don't want to burden themselves with long approaches. Now also on Uarch (Merdven) - Kaya.

A polite request to all metal enthusiasts and commissioners: please don't hammer bolts on our route - we'll remove and recycle them.
