Along the western counterfors (Edge) from the left (edge to edge), 5a *) (by A. Grishkevich and V. Volkodav, 1970)

The route begins at the base of the couloir descending from the Green inner corner. Initially, move up along the talus and simple rocks towards the steep wall. In its left part, find a sheer crack (R0: 200 m, 30°, easy).

On the R1–R2 section — first up the crack, and then slightly to the right (R1–R2: 20 m, 80°, V; 20 m, 75°, IV).

On the R2–R3 section — first up along the chip, and then to the right of two overhanging bastions (R2–R3: 40 m, 70°, III).

On the R3–R4 section — slightly to the left, and then up the chimney with trees into the "bowl" under the Green inner corner. Then to the right towards a large 40-meter ledge on the counterfors resembling a paw, which is how it got its name (R3–R4: 80 m, 60–70°, III).

On the R4–R5 section — up onto the Paw from the left. Initially along the crack between the Paw and the wall. In the upper part, the crack turns into a chimney (R4–R5: 40 m, 85°, V+).

On the R5–R6 section — from the Paw, initially 5 m up the steep wall, and then two options. A relatively new one — up to the bolted route and along it 20 m up the sheer slab. The old one — to the right towards an old bolted route with rusty and partially broken ears. However, it's still possible to climb by using a rope thrown over the broken bolts for insurance. Along it, 20 m to the left and up (R5–R6: 35 m, 85°, V+).

On the R6–R9 sections — initially up, and then traverse to the right under the overhanging wall to a large pine tree. From it:

• left and up,
• then straight up along rocks of medium and above medium difficulty to a large shelf under the sheer wall.

Overcoming the 5-meter steep wall head-on, move:

• left and up,
• along the inner corner to reach the summit plateau.

(R6–R9: 130 m, 60–70°, III–IV)

The length of the main part of the route is about 370 m. Time to complete the route is 4–5 hours.

The challenging part of the route is equipped with stationary insurance points.

P.S. Alexander Grishkevich, one of the first Dnipropetrovsk climbers, began exploring routes in the Foros region of Crimea in the early 1970s. However, even now, being a solid university professor, he actively participates in the work of the Dnipropetrovsk Federation of Climbing and Mountaineering.
