See map »
"Starukha" (old woman) rock is the furthest sportive rock of "Orlyonok rocks" group. The height of the rock is 25 meters. The first explorers called this 30 meters sculptural rock "Starukha Izergil", which outline reminds crooked nose, cut with deep wrinkles face and angry eyes. With time only one out of two words was kept as a name. Before the rock got its name "Starukha Izergil", it was called "Kareta" (carriage) for its trapezium-shape outline on the ridge background. There is one smaller rock called "Vnuchka" (granddaughter) near the Starukha rock.
