On Saturday, October 9-th 2004, on Shaan Kaya, the Crimea, Ukraine, at the big crowd of people the presentation of a new multi-pitch route "Atlant M" took place.
It was called to cut through the next "window" to Europe and to give a push to development of a new (for our friendly countries) direction in rock-climbing - safe climbing on long difficult routes.

Lenght of the route – 250 m.
Angle 100 degree (see picture below)

R1 - 38 m, 8b
R2 - 30 m, 7c / 7c+
R3 - 30 m, 7b
R4 - 35 m, 7b+ / 7c
R5 - 35 m, 7c / 7c+
R6 - 32 m, 7c
R7 - 29 m, 7b+
R8 - 28 m, 7b
The line takes course on border of grey and yellow and looks very beautiful. As for me my hands were itching to touch this new and not snotty line immediately, but the first pitch makes sober and returns to the validity - it's roughly 8b. Late start (at midday), the kind scorching crimean sun (it is hardly to believe!), two-day rendering assistance at the fireman, complexity of the line, absence of experience and simple human excitement did not let a miracle happen and the line be clean sent - the guys struggled and fell, struggled again and fell again adding plus to each pitch. Spectators watched the action, taking up generous cool beer and truing their first bouldering problems in a relic pine wood.
The happiness and harmony returned on the ground for a while. In general, hurry up! You are welcome - vacancy is open, and the route waits for the heroes - pioneers.
