Forosskiy kant. Routes of the "Green corner"

At the end of January, we (Alexander Lavrinenko and Sergey Pugachev) climbed a new route in the left part of the Forosskiy kant, along the left edge of the "Green corner". The route looks so logical that it's surprising it wasn't climbed earlier. In the very corner, human tracks are visible, but whether it was completed to the top - I don't know; at least, I saw 2 rappel loops. The route starts at the same point as the left variant of the Kant, and goes left; the 2-grade route goes even further left.

125 ± 2 m, 5B, TD "along the left edge" Pugachev, Lavrinenko 35A TD - Timofeev's route R7–R8: 10 m up the crack, VI, then through a small ledge, and further along the slit 25 m (VI, A2), exit into the scree couloir. Belay on a tree. VI, A2, 35 m. Then walk out to the yayla. On the route, in addition to stoppers and friends, pitons are necessary. It should be noted that we climbed at a temperature around 0°C; maybe in warmer weather, the route can be climbed without using artificial aids.
