1. Climbing Report

Author: Anatoly Brynza, Dnepropetrovsk. Bashnya Tower. Two easy routes in Crimea Bashnya (610 m above sea level) is located in the area of Sanatornoye village, on the eastern side of the highest peak in the area, Kilsé-Burun. In the 70s, it had the name "Tower above the camp". This is due to the fact that at that time there was water in the well in this area and on May and October holidays, many tent camps of climbers were located here. Now, unfortunately, there is no water. Bashnya consists of three peaks: Western, Central, and Eastern. Two very popular easy routes are laid on the Central peak:

• №1 "Truba" (2B)
• №2 "Cherep" (1A) The routes have a common lower part. The approach to the routes starts 400 m east of the houses located under Mt. Kilsé-Burun. There, a trail begins, leading to a fairly simple Bashenny couloir, separating Kilsé-Burun and Bashnya. It is quite easy to ascend to the yayla, as well as descend from it. The approach to the route takes 15–20 minutes. You can descend from the plateau in 30–40 minutes via the Bashenny couloir.

Kilse-Burun — R1

On the left side of the third buttress of the western part of the massif («Lokomotiv»), category 3B (III, 260 m) (route by A. Brynza, 1990)

For the first time, this route was climbed by me along with students of the Dnipropetrovsk National University of Railway Transport, where I work. By right! img-0.jpeg As pioneers, we named it «Lokomotiv». A characteristic feature of the route is that in its lower part, it passes through a section of the wall covered with ivy, which is why it is sometimes called «Plyushch» («Ivy»). The approach to the route from the road starts at the end of the long zigzag road. From there, the road continues straight along the Kilse-Burun massif to the campsite. Initially, follow the path to a small, separately protruding rock used for training. By passing the rock, move up and to the right along the talus to a wide internal corner between the 2nd and 3rd buttresses of the western part of the massif (R0: 250 m, 20–30°, no category). On the R1–R2 section — up the steep internal corner between the 2nd and 3rd buttresses. First, 30 m up its right part, and then 10 m up and to the right under the wall overgrown with ivy (R1–R2: 40 m, 75°, III). On the R2–R4 section — up and to the right to a large pine tree at the base of the steep internal corner (R2–R3: 20 m, 75°, III; 20 m, 60°, II). On the R3–R4 section — from the pine tree 30 m up the steep internal corner to a sloping terrace. From it, up the left side of the buttress, overcoming a steep short wall through a cleft first (R3–R4: 40 m, 70°, III). On the R4–R5 section — up the buttress through rocks of medium complexity to a large pine tree at the beginning of the steep internal corner (R4–R5: 40 m, 75°, III).

Kilse-Burun — 2

Via the third counterfort of the western part of the massif (a question), 2B category

The approach to the route begins slightly west of the campsite under Kilse-Burun, 50 m east of the "36/18" kilometer post of the old highway. First, left along the trail, and then up simple rocks to the exit to a long inclined terrace. Along it, 100 m to the right and up. Then turn left and ascend simple rocks to a small terrace at the base of a small rock circus located between the third and fourth counterforts of the western part of the massif (R0 section). On the R1–R2 section — in the central part of the obscured wall:

• initially 35 m up and to the right in the direction of a small ledge (R1–R2: 40 m, 75°, IV+). On the R2–R3 section — initially a little up, and then up and left to a separate pine on the ridge of the counterfort (R2–R3: 30 m, 75°, IV+). Further, routes #2 and #3 coincide. On the R3–R4 section — from the pine 10 m up and to the right along a 10-meter steep internal corner, and then 30 m up and left along the ridge (R3–R4: 10 m, 80°, IV+; 30 m, 70°, III). On the R4–R5 section — up 80 m along the ridge of the counterfort to the exit to a large terrace. On it, the main part of the route ends (R4–R5: 80 m, 70°, III). Along the terrace (R5 section — yayla):
