Ai-Petri (Western Peak) Category 3B

From the Host-Bash clearing (250–300 m), go upstream along the left (in the direction of travel) bank of the river, then ascend via a trail in the direction of the western peak of Ai-Petri, veering left and up. 25–30 m to the wall. The route starts four meters to the right of a well-defined chimney and proceeds 15 m up the wall at an angle of 75–85° to an overhanging boulder. Using the inner corner formed by the wall and this boulder, one can exit to a small ledge — a suitable spot for belaying. Next, move right and up through the inner corner, which after 10 m transitions into a chimney that narrows at the top. Exit through it onto a ledge where a pine tree grows

Ai-Petri (western summit). 4A cat.

The route goes to the left of the main couloir separating the western summit from the central massif. Along the inner corner formed by two ledges on the wall, traverse right under an overhanging rock, bypassing it along a narrow vertical slit. After that, inclined platforms begin. The further path diverges:

• The first one goes up steep rocks along the right edge of a narrow couloir turning into a chimney.
• The second one goes along the wall and traverses left into the couloir. Then go another 25 m to a chimney, then to a pine tree, and then another 40 m to the second pine tree on the right. Here, on the saddle, there's a control cairn. From here, go right to a small chimney with a dry pine tree, and then, bypassing a large rock on the left, ascend to a platform and from it to a pine tree,
