Foros kant (600 m). 1. “Papa Carlo”

Massif: Foros kant (600 m), Grade: 3B, V Author: A. Kuzmenko, V. Razuvaev Year of creation: 2005 Number of pitches: 7 Length: 355 m Time to complete: 3–5 hours

The route passes through a standalone bastion in the western part of the massif. It is logical but uneven. The crux pitch is clearly a "5" grade.

The start of the route is at the base of the corner of the couloir that bounds the counterfort on the left.

R0–R1 50 m. Up the couloir, then along the inside corner, exit to the right wall from the corner, and ascend to a ledge. There's a tree on the ledge, but it's better to set up a belay station on your own anchors above, just before the next pitch. 50 m III

R1–R2 50 m. Up a crack, then along an inside corner; climbing is difficult, with 2 drill holes. At the top of the corner, traverse 5 m to the left and exit to a large tree via a crack. Belay station.

(Crux pitch. The entire crack is suitable for medium and large-sized protection, including medium friends)

(50 m V)

R2–R3 30 m. From the belay station, move up and to the right into an inside corner. 5 m of challenging climbing in the corner, then it becomes easier - climb up to a tree. (5 m V, 25 m II–III)

R3–R4 50 m. Up through simple inside corners to a ledge with trees. II

R4–R5 50 m. Up to a ledge, then ascend without deviating left; belay station on a large tree. III

R5–R6 25 m. From the tree, climb up through an inside corner to a forested ledge. II

R6–R7 100 m. Walking, with some simple climbing while following the ridge, 100 m to the yayla. Climbers can move simultaneously. 100 m (0–I)
