“To the south and back" is a 30 meters traverse bouldering problem, with a bit overhanging relief and a lot of pockets.
I estimated the route V4, but it could be V5 at ease. The way “South” is a comparatively easy half way, it goes abut 1-2m high horizontal line of the rock. And the way back goes through the upper part of the rock and has more pockets for 1 or 2 fingers. The route is very nice for a good warming up.
Location is the bouldering section in the Hrazdan gorge, in the territory of "Spitak" rescue center, Yerevan.

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!
Armenian Alpine Club organized an ice climbing training in Azat (Garni) gorge.

On the end of the August Ellen J. Brager wrote me that her 11 years old daughter wants to take rock climbing lessons.
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.

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!

On March 17-24, the program of heli-skiing in Armenia runs with sunny weather and good snow.

Here is the second part of the project “Rock Us in the Caucasus 2015”, which was held in Chaukhi mountains and Mt. Kazbeg in Georgia.
The ski touring season 2015/16 in Armenia and Georgia was pretty much fruitful! Excellent and stable snow, satisfied and happy clients with smiling faces and promises to come back again, that's what we have got!
