Т. Tcushko - А. Lavrinenko February 2007
We had an idea to pass the big cornice to the right from « Рыжего вывала » (Red fall), on the fhotos a crack was seen in the center of the cornice. Looking closely, it turned to be not a crack, but a trace of fallen patch. We said goodbye to the beautiful idea and ascended to the summit.
Approach and first 2 pitches coincide with the route «Triangle on the left»
