“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.

The winter of 2015 in Armenia is again not that cold for ice climbing, but we bought the short gap.
Armenian Alpine Club organized an ice climbing training in Azat (Garni) gorge.
Up The Rocks member Andranik Miribyan free solo climbed an alpine route in Chaukhi massive of Greater Caucasus Range, Georgia.

A great pleasure and fun is to ski with a good friend Alexey Shustrov, who investigated so much to promote ski touring in Armenia.
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!

This time we were honored to host the iconic mountain guides Claude Jaccoux and Alberto Re in Armenia.
