In March, 1999 a team of climbers
of Krasnoyarsk club of travellers went in the area of Ergaki (Eastern
Siberia) for climbing a new route on Zub Drakona peak. At a strong
frost (the temperature reached negative 40) the guys ascended
the most complex part of the wall.
But time was up - the guys had
to take off the ropes and come back home. In the summer on traditional
gathering of climbers in Ergaki (taking place from June, 24 till
July, 5, 1999) the guys (Koryukin, Terentyev, Tsyganov, Zakharov)
climbed the route completely. A new interesting route 6À-graded
appeared on the Southwest face of Zub Drakona peak via its main
tower.
