Rock and Ice climbing

  • Tigranes The Great

       "Tigranes The Great" is my beloved climb on Titanic Rock in Gnishik canyon, Vayots Dzor province of Armenia. I have bolted it in 2018 and climbed it in 2019.

     
  • America to Armenia

    Phhh. Our car stalls in the Zvartnots parking lot just as the third member of our climbing team, Marius, reports he “knows how to drive stick.” 

     
  • Catching up the cold for warm up

       The winter of 2015 in Armenia is again not that cold for ice climbing, but we bought the short gap.

     
  • Armenian Alpine Club's ice climbing training

       Armenian Alpine Club organized an ice climbing training in Azat (Garni) gorge. 

     

Mountaineering and Backcountry skiing

  • Ski-touring in Armenia and more

    Mystic basalt columns and limestone had been the initial motivation to travel to Armenia, but the potential for outdoor adventures took us by surprise as did the culturel experience.

     Three routes in Rocky Mountain National Park. Petit Grepon and two on Longs Peak.

     
  • Alexey Shustrov in Armenia again!

    A great pleasure and fun is to ski with a good friend Alexey Shustrov, who investigated so much to promote ski touring in Armenia.

     
  • Ski Season 2023


       Like in the Alps and Caucasus, the snow conditions were poor in Armenia as well during past winter months. In Aspen though, where I spent skiing and teaching for the ski school there, it was a decent early season and very good snow throughout the seasonThen came the long awaited March to guide for ski touring in Armenia.
