"Pruha" Route 6A (Yu. Lishaev — D. Evseev)

The "Pruha" route goes along the reddish, overhanging wall. Climbed by Yuri Lishaev and Dmitry Evseev in 2008. On January 30 - February 1, the weather conditions made this the driest and least snowy route. Snow fell far behind our backs, and artificial protection points held in the frost just as they do in summer. The description and the thread of the first ascent were not very specific. Some pitons on the route were in poor condition, so we re-fixed our own at 2 belay stations. We climbed the first rope via our own, more logical path, and reached the beginning of the 2nd rope of the route. It's an interesting route, with more overhanging sections than on Chelebi on the Verba route. Kuba-Kaya, East Tower. "Pruha" route 6A 0-1 Up to the right, enter the inner corner. Climb up the corner. Rocks in the corner are reliably wedged, with a good crack on the left for protection. Exit to a small tree. From it, climb up and left to a ledge. There's a piton. 45 m V A1 1–2 Climb up through a system of cracks, with some pitons encountered. Gradually move right and up, bypassing destroyed overhangs. Despite the steepness of around 100°, the protection points are mostly reliable. Belay station on 2 pitons, hanging. There's no free climbing at all. 35 m A2+ 2–3 Climb up through an overhang, with increasing steepness. Almost all on pitons, but own protection points are also needed. Belay station on a gentler slope. Pitons are poor, but reliable hooks can be hammered in. 15 m A2
