AMSNS multi pitch class #2

Category: Rock Climbing

Following the previous clinic, on Soyuz 82 multi pitch route, this is one on is to consolidate what we have already learnt.

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 season. Then came the long awaited March to guide for ski touring in Armenia.
