Routes as trad in Bektau-Ata

Start to the right of the overhanging offwidth. The moderate crack will lead to the ledge with big rock spikes.

It's funny how 5 meters of a diagonal crack up less than a vertical rock can harm a 7c climbers' self-esteem. Highly recommended.

As easy as it looks from the ground, as hard it is when you get to the overhanging lip with its crack.

Grib is easy to recognize from the tourist trail at bottom of the basin. To descend rappel simultaneously down the opposite sides of the mushroom's head.

From the bottom, once again, it appeared like a walk in the park, in fact, it turned out to be a tricky 7a. There is no place to build a belay on the top. The leader has to sit into a pit and belay from their harness.

For the first 8 meters there is an offwidth that swallows two #5 and one #6 camalots. The crack then narrows and disappears, leaving you in a corner with a couple of pockets for cams. To get down, rappel from a big block on a ledge or climb a 3-meter step and walk down on foot.

That's unusual: it's not as hard as it looks. Don't forget your #6 camalot.

The sub-moderate route, but nevertheless, you'll have to breathe hard for a while.

Short but interesting. This ends on the same ledge as Kazakhsha Kures.

In the upper part, a crack runs out, so you'll have to place a bomber #1 cam and run it out for a few meters up the finishing slab.

Flaring finger to narrow hands crack.

70-degree corner with a good crack inside.

Short fist-sized crack.
