When Sam Bie emailed me about their wish to visit Armenia with Alex Chabot and establish new routes on basalt columns then I realized that the rock climbing is going to rise on the new level in Armenia.
On the end of rainy Apr, these guys with assistance of Pippa-Pips Planques arrived Yerevan, from our side Luca Keushguerian and me joined the crew. During two rainy weeks Chabot made 3 trad routes on Basalt columns and one trad, two sport routes in Noravank canyon.
