Chelebi, Crimea.
Alpinist routes

Chelebi massif is located in the Western part of the Main ridge of Crimean mountains, between “Baydarsky gates” pass and Ilyas-Kaya mountain. Its height is 200 m, altitude – 600 m above sea level. In spite of small height, its central part has 5 routes 5 and 6 grades. They are very popular (for example, Bershov's route – several ascents a day).

Descent is possible on the left or right side of the wall. The left one (looking to the sea) is shorter: go along the precipice of the plateau to “Baydarsky gates” pass about 600-700 m. A group of trees grows near the descent couloir. Go down through the abrupt slide-rocks and then to the left near the wall.

Routes deion

In the deions I used French classification as the most popular in CIS for grade definition of free climbing. Aid parts are estimated according to American system, so grade depends on the quantity of unreliable points, not on the rock steepness.

"Strelka" (pointer) 5b 170 m.

Ascended by Suslov. In the left part of the S.W. wall an inclined open inner corner is well seen which turns into a crack which makes the right side of the “pointer”. This is a route. There are 2 variations of start, both are in the middle of firs pitch. The classical one is through the inner corner upwards and to the left, difficult climbing, aid, 15 m, then through the abrupt, destroyed rocks 10 m upwards to the ledge with moving stones. Difficult climbing through the crack or by aid, 5-7 m upwards, then to the right and upwards to the ledge in the beginning of a big inner corner.

R1. 40m 85°, 6a A3 Then go 25 m upwards through the inner corner (small and medium nuts), then difficult climbing through the chimney-crack, aid15 m (friends, big hexes), go to the ledge, then difficult climbing 10 m by a narrow vertical corner.

R2. 50 ì 85° 6b A2. Then go upwards by inner corners (V), bypassing the cornice on the left, and go to the tree.

3. 50 ì 70°V .
30 ì I go to the plateau through the overgrown couloir
Time - 4-5 hours.
The route is too difficult for 5 grade, in fact it is a short 6 grade

"Lunokhood" (Dana) 6À

Ascended by Yu. Kruglov and Yu. Lyashenko in 1999. Another name – “Dana”

The most difficult route on Chelebi and, as for me, the most technically rich one in Crimea nowadays.

The route starts several meters right from the big stone, leaned against the wall, from the sign “Kruglov – Lyashenko 99”. Aiding (small nuts, bolts) along the vertical wall with a narrow crack to the bend. Then climbing to the bolt 5 m. Then go upwards 10 m along the crack, aid A3 (nuts). Then climb to the right and upwards to the bolt. From the bolt on sky hooks along the holes go upwards 8 m (2 bolts are placed), the wall overhangs a little. After the last bolt the steepness reduces, climbing is possible. Belay is in 10 m on the ledge (3 bolts).

Information 2004:

“One more time a cornice fell on the route of Verba on Chelebi. This time its remainders which remained after the previous stone-slide fell. Now vertical inner corner (between the cornice and the main wall) disappeared. Belay after the corner may also be demolished. But even if the route became unclimbable (temporarily), in any case you can go to “Dnepropetrovsky” route from the upper grotto. By the way, there is a good climbing rope.”
