Paragelmination — 7
Route 2B cat. diff.
The route is easily accessible via a trail that goes from the road, oriented by ribbons hanging on trees. The ascent takes approximately 10–12 minutes.
The start of the route is to the left of the ridge (do not confuse with the ridge on which route 1 cat. diff. passes — the far left one on the rock). From there, move towards a tree around which an iron rope is wrapped — organize the first belay (I) there. Move beyond the bend — you will come out to a small platform where:
- a "carrot" (morcovka) is fixed
- a channel (shveller) is fixed
Organize the second belay (II) there.
Upwards from the platform, through a crack with small holds (the key section of the route), where two pitons need to be hammered. The loose rock that you will see directly in front of you after passing the crack must be bypassed on the right to reach a wide ledge — organize the third belay (III) there.
Further, through a narrow vertical crack under an overhanging boulder, after which move left, leaving a rather uncomfortable crack on the right — organize the fourth belay (IV) there.
Then, easy climbing follows to the "summit", with organization of intermediate belays (V, VI),
and from there,
while belaying oneself to bushes and lying stones, traverse along the narrow ridge to the yayla.
Descent is via the descent trail.
