  • Experience with Alex Chabot and Sam Bie

  • Chichkhan WI3

     During this warm winter in Armenia there was a short period of cold days in early Feb, and we went to “Trchkan” waterfall to which no ice-tool pick has been touched before.

     

Mountaineering and Backcountry skiing

  • Rocky Mountains, US trip_N3


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

     
  • Mt Ushba south peak (4710m)

    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!
