Rock and Ice climbing

  • First Noravanq climbing this season

      This time we went to climb the route "Soyuz", a 4-pitch route in Noravank (Gnishik).

     
  • Rock Us in the Caucasus - Armenia

    Rumors about this amazing program of rock climbing and mountaineering in Armenia and Georgia had been started in between American Alpine Club and Alpine Club of Iran years ago, in 2011..

     
  • 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.

     
  • After the Festival…(AfterFest)

    With the end of the Festival our motivation didn´t end! We saw so many lines, still unclimbed that we decided to spend one more week in Armenia for more first ascents!

     

Mountaineering and Backcountry skiing

  • "Luciamore" FA, V+ max, 430m

    On cold November 22, with Dani and Lucia I finally went to the Granite Circus, which they had discovered a year ago.

     
  • 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.

     
  • French Ski-tour in Armenia

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

     
  • Another great skiing with nice crew!

    It's March 2, but the weather is quite warm already for this time of a year, skiers' must have been driven into depression, but some just go and check the snow!
