Route 2

2A, III, A1

The route starts to the right of the fault — a couloir from a tree with a cable loop (orientation start) and passes along the left counterfort of the central massif (SW cf).

From the tree, climb 30 m on the right side of the edge along rocks of medium difficulty (III) to a wall with a difficult crack (key to the route). The crack is passed using ETO (long wedges, 3 m, A1), then along the wall 5 m to a cable loop — R1.

Then approach under the cornice, pass it on the right and enter the internal corner (II). The station is higher — on a shelf with a cable loop. From R2 along the counterfort 100–150 m up along simple rocks (II−), sticking to the left side, to the sub-summit. From it, through a pass (insurance, !!!) 50–70 m to the yayla.

Passage time: 2–4 hours. Equipment:

• stoppers
• 5–8 quickdraws
• some groups hammer in pitons
