Via Western wall, 3B category of difficulty

From the base camp, move along the right bank of the right tributary of Ulu'n river. After 20–25 minutes of movement, start climbing up a snowy couloir to the right of the western counterfort. Move along the right side of the couloir. Approach the heavily snow-covered "ram foreheads" at the beginning of the route. Then proceed in a rope team. Bypass the "ram foreheads" from the left along the ledge and ascend simple rocks to a snowy isthmus. Here is a control cairn on the wall in a tin can. The ascent time to the snowy isthmus from the base camp is 1 hour. From the control cairn, to the left of a large chimney with ice, begins an 80-meter key section of the wall:

• First, make a difficult 8-meter traverse to the left with a slight gain in height.

1. Left edge of the E ridge, 2B
2. Right edge of the E ridge, 4A

Left edge of the East ridge, 2B cat. difficulty

From the base camp, having ascended to the terrace of the left bank of the Ulun river, move downstream. Round the entire North-Eastern ridge of peak Khabarovskikh Alpinistok and reach the far end of the Coya cirque to the start of the route. The approach takes 40 minutes on skis. At the beginning of the route be attentive — there are dangerous couloirs on the left and right. Climb 150 m to the beginning of the edge. The beginning of the ascent passes along gently sloping, heavily snow-covered rocks about 100 m to the base of the first large "gendarme". It is passed on the right along rather technically complex internal corners and slabs (key section 95 m). Then 100 m at the same time to the base of the second large "gendarme". Pass it:

• on the right along the slabs,
• or straight up along the crevice 40 m (second key section).

"Feathers" — a non-technical description of the route to the top of Ai-Petri

Tourist Encyclopedia

Feathers (Ai-Petri)

The entire Ai-Petri massif is clearly visible from the highway if you stop a little before the point where the cable car cables pass over the road (when driving from Simeiz). It's even more convenient to drive to the middle station of the cable car, which is located above the highway. The cable car itself goes over the right part of the massif. In the left part of the wall:

• a huge cornice;
• a depression about a hundred meters high, which we conditionally called the "TV". The two parts of the wall are separated by a counterfort, which is a series of rock feathers stacked on top of each other. The height of each of them is 30–40 m. The route passes through them. From the middle station of the cable car, walk up the road, and after about 300 m, turn left onto the road leading to the barrier. From the barrier, go through the forest, veering left, towards the left part of the massif — approach the rocky ridge blocking the path to the wall. Bypass the ridge from the left. After it — up and to the right. All approaches to the wall are within range of stones falling from the couloir located above the wall. Pass under the wall as quickly as possible. Get dressed and rope up directly under the route.

Ai-Petri (eastern peak) via south-eastern ridge, category 3B

The approaches to the route start from the Yalta-Sevastopol highway at the turnoff to Miskhor. The route begins along the ridge that goes left from the center of the eastern wall (moderate rocks, 40 m). The landmark is an inclined terrace located to the right of the ridge. From the ridge, transition to a series of vertical cliffs with a weakly expressed counterfort, the length of this section is 20 m. Then:

• traverse left,
• ascend 30 m along moderate rocks,
• follow an inclined ledge to a vertical chimney. The chimney leads to a ledge, from which difficult climbing up an inclined ledge leads to a rocky ridge where a yew tree grows. Continue towards a pine tree (difficult rocks, 15–20 m). From the pine tree, move upwards and to the right along the rocky ridge. The path along the ridge is easy. The length of this section is 80 m. Then, very difficult climbing up overhanging rocks leads to the pre-summit tower. The length of this section is 20 m. On the plateau, ascend along the ledges and join the trail leading to Miskhor. The route length is 580 m:
