At the beginning, the ascent along the “Path of Health” to the “Crimean Pine” location is moderately easy; you need to stick to the old winding path with curbs.
In the middle of the climb, after the remains of the technical structure for the personnel, there will be 800 meters of ascent at 30 degrees, it will be difficult even if you are light.
The final path, the last 300 meters along the Kokht ridge, the movement relative to sea level is horizontal.
Climbing participants are required to:
1. Minimal, but physical preparation for an altitude of 400 meters above sea level.

3. First of all, do not bypass the water supply and do not forget about auxiliary nutrition.
4. As additional equipment, if an evening ascent to sunset is required, fully charged running flashlights are required.
