The next chunk of routes was established by the Russian Team Ivan Alentsev, Mikhail Kukharenko, Adrien Smith in November 2011
Next up in February 2012 The crew of Jaimie Browne, Jenny Lord, Job & Bernard Van Hemert put up a lot of routes, too and another few routes in 2013 by Jaimie and Mikhail Khomenyuk. Lately in 2019 it has seen a few more additions by Mikhail Kukharenko again.
In 2022 and 2023 it has seen the addition of many new routes in the "Paradise" Sector by Wolfgang Vogl, Timo Elony and Tobias Mueller
