A couple of comments after the ascent — February 2020 — on the Dubovikova route on Erydag 5A.

Section 0–1

At the starting point — 2 internal corners — we climbed the right one. The start is with a lift, then it "climbs" 2-3 times — stood in the runner loop. There is at least 1 bolted hook on the section. The start on the left corner seems easier, but then you might want to switch to the right one. Section 1–2: everything is logical, no comments. Section 2–3 on the cornice — several pitons (bolted hooks), (didn't climb out). From point 3, the crack of section 4–5 is clearly visible (at the very beginning of the grotto, the left part of the grotto).
