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.

Ok, now I’m happy with a sustainable climbing partner Jared Nielson, a Big Wall climber from California.
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..?
On March 28 we went for sport climbing in Noravanq canyon. The sky with heavy clouds couldn't brake our optimism that good weather may come.

Yesterday together with Mkrtich Nazarian we went to Hrazdan gorge to take pictures of the rocks “Spitak” rescue team territory for topo.

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

Three routes in Rocky Mountain National Park. Petit Grepon and two on Longs Peak.
The initiator of this ski touring program Andre Souvignet, and Up the Rocks was hosting Andre’s team with a pleasure in Georgia.

When two guys, who had never met before and don’t know much about each other (besides couple of g-mails) immediately set of to climb a serious mountain from the meeting place – they call it “nonsense” in mountaineering, you will agree!
