Basalt Column Climbing BAN

“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.

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!
