Mshatka-Kaya — 17. “Iron Path”

Massif: Mshatka-Kaya (618 m) Complexity: VI A3 Length: 215 m Route description The route goes through the right part of the wall, crossing the right edge of the triangle. Climbed in winter, on snowy rocks. At a temperature below −5 °C. Not repeated. The approach to the route coincides with the approach to the “Triangle on the right”. From the old Yalta road, 200 m to the right of the fork to Baydarskie Vorota, a path leads to the wall. On the path, then on the talus, general direction left — up, approach the lower

Mshatka — Kaya — 10. «Genofond Selection» — (F6c E4), A3

The route "Genofond Selection" is indicated by a white line. Photo by A. Zhilin The route is located on the Mshatka bastion between the routes "Triangulyatsiya" and "Strelka" and has been considered for a long time. To begin with, Vova Odoyev and I decided to conduct a reconnaissance. On October 15, 2023, we approached the wall, climbed two ropes, received ambiguous impressions, took several photos, and descended. Upon reviewing the photographs, I saw an opportunity for a route that was logical, bypassing the living sections and areas lacking relief for natural protection, but it required a fresh look. For the second reconnaissance, I was joined by Kyiv resident Yevgeny Brusko — we climbed the same part of the wall up to the first overhang. The second time, it was a third faster, and the areas that were previously climbed using artificial aids were successfully passed by free climbing, which was a pleasant surprise. The further route line became clear...

Miatka-Kaya (618 m) — 24. "Diktat dozhdya" (Rain Dictate), 5B

The route was climbed on March 13-14, 2017, by the team:

• Zagirnyak Mikhail
• Pugachëv Sergey, in 12 hours The approach starts from the observation deck below Foros, going up the trail, and then along simple rocks and trails, traversing to the right in the direction of the "Triangulyatsiya" route. Passing the beginning of the ascent to the "Uho" route, move up to the right, towards a large group of trees under the main wall. The start of the route is on the left side of the wall, on implicit ledges. R0–R1: 40 m, I–II, 50°; When processing or carrying heavy backpacks, the first rope can be hung and a piton station organized 10 m below the large group of pine trees under the wall. Standing by the pine tree under the wall is extremely uncomfortable. Railing Station at R0–R1

Mshatka-Kaya. Eastern bastion, variation of the route "Po uglu" 5A (V A1 240 m (5 pitches) t 5–7 h). E. Poltavets (Kharkov) and V. Makoed (Odessa) 2013. The line passes through the inner corner with a non-monolithic relief. The route is prone to rockfall. You can approach the start of the route from the left, like for route №?. There's also an option to approach via the couloir separating Mshatka-Kaya and Zamok: from the road, go up the scree path, overcome a несложную стенку and ascend towards the couloir separating the massifs. Then follow the couloir. The cork is bypassed on the left via rocks (10 m II). From the couloir:

• left and up to the ridge (30 m I),
• then right and up to a large tree at the base of the wall. After rain and during snowmelt, the couloir is prone to rockfall. Route description:

From the upper road, ascend simple rock to the right part of an overgrown shrubby inclined terrace located under the eastern part of the wall. The route starts 20 m east of the beginning of the right "side" of the Triangle (R0: 300 m, 30–50, easy — I). On the R1–R2 section:

• from a narrow inclined ledge on the left side of a small, not clearly defined counterfort to a pine tree
• then up steep walls to a tree (R1–R2: 40 m, 70°, III). Then up through the centre of the bastion. The landmark is a 20-meter internal corner with a tree

• as a crack was vis­i­ble along the cen­ter of the cor­nice. Up close it turned out to be not a crack, but a scar from a de­tached boul­der.
