   On Feb 12, Jared Nielson, Andranik Miribyan and Mkhitar Mkhitaryan went to the project - the fourth pitch WI 4 of the cascade ice falls in Arpa gorge, Armenia. 

   Jared and Sean Walker had been there some weeks ago, and they only did climb the first 3 cascades - R1-10m (WI 2), R2-30m (WI 4+), R3-15m (WI 3). The 4th pitch is an icicle, located in a gully, providing you a very fun climbing. If your choice is to climb just the last two pitches, there is a very short approach from mine road leading to resort town Jermuk. All you need is just couple of rappels by the equipped anchors.
