"To the south and back" V4, first traverse, 30m

Written by Mkhitar Mkhitaryan, Published: 06 June 2009

“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.
