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

  On a sunny Sunday in May we came back to Noravank, and after having fun, the climbers started to climb and the picnickers returned back to Yerevan. We chose the route Soyuz 82 (80m) set up by Aleksey Trubachov and Antuan Ananyan (initiated by "WushUp" Adventures). The route is located in the beginning of the canyon on the left side. 

  In 1982 the rock climbing female competition of the USSR championship was held on this line, with a top-rope climbing, and after setting up the bolts Alexey decided to call it “Soyuz 82”.

It has four pitches: R0-25m 4c, R1-15m 5b,   R2-17 5b, R3-23m 6b/+.

This one also, as the other multi pitch "Danak", goes with runouts, which makes it so spicy and delicious ))
