углом. There is a small area for one person. From the area, the ascent goes through a crack (7 m), which turns into a narrow chimney (12 m), the steepness of the section is 80–85°. The chimney leads to an area where 6–8 people can be accommodated, and there is 1 control cairn on the area. From the control cairn, the ascent goes straight up through an internal corner (810 m), then traversing left — exit to the external corner and ascent along it 20–25 m to a black inclined shelf going left upwards. From it, it is necessary to move to the right, traversing a complex slab-like part of the wall — 20 m — to a chimney. The chimney widens upwards and is closed by a plug in its upper part. The length of the chimney is 20–25 m. At the base of the chimney, there is a small area where backpacks can be received and
