Refined description of a challenging section of an alpinism route, correcting inaccuracies and indicating key landmarks.

Since many get lost on the route, I decided to write an addition to the description. The ledge on which "many" get lost, after R6, is misleading due to the description: according to it, the section R6–R7 is 60 m long, but in reality it's no more than 30 m. R6–R8 There's a belay station near a juniper bush, from it go left along the wall, as soon as it ends:

  • go 8–10 m
  • climb up the grassy ledges to the wall, also about 10 m From this point, on the right, you can see a flake:
  • go under it
  • 8 m up on it
  • then immediately left, or right around the bend On the right, around the bend, there's an inner corner with grassy tufts/ledges, the walls are smooth.
