The Armenian Mountaineering and Skiing National School recently held a single-pitch and multi-pitch training program for young climbers in Noravank Canyon.
Ski season 2026 is still going on, check for the updates of the pictures and the article!
The Armenian Mountaineering and Skiing National School (AMSNS) is launching a series of structured, weekday evening rock climbing sessions in Yerevan, Hrazdan Gorge.
On October 19th, with the support of the Armenian Alpine Club and our title sponsor Unibank OJSC the Boulderland Yerevan climbing gym organized and held the Armenian Bouldering Open Championship.

“Amazing Armenia” – this was the title of a big article published in the “Rock & Ice” magazine in the US in 2010.
Massimo Cappuccio, a photographer, traveler and dreamer, visited Armenia this time.
The dreams seems to be really powerful. How else would you describe your first climbing trip in US, where Jim Donini drives you to Yosemite, Indian Creek, Red Rocks, Black Canyon and Eldorado canyon..?

Well, all the guys who I have sent a message via facebook, to go for climbing on Sunday, where not in the planned venue.

As the Up The Rocks club transformed into Armenian Mountaineering and Skiing National School, we started organizing multi-pitch climbing classes for young climbers.

Yesterday together with Mkrtich Nazarian we went to Hrazdan gorge to take pictures of the rocks “Spitak” rescue team territory for topo.
I finally skied one of my projects in Fox Mountains, solo. My skiing buddies were busy to support me on this backcountry trip, and the weather is warming drastically in the valley now, so it had to be done now or postponed to next year which I didn't like for some reasons.

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.

On the beginning of August, 2007 our Armenian friends from Iran Sourik Stepanian and Araik Jahanian came to Yerevan to set off for Georgia, to climb up Mt Kazbek (5033m) with ‘Spitak’ rescue team members.

From Feb 25 to March 5, a French group was hosted by Up The Rocks for ski-touring program in Armenia.
