“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.

  • Ski Season 2023


       Like in the Alps and Caucasus, the snow conditions were poor in Armenia as well during past winter months. In Aspen though, where I spent skiing and teaching for the ski school there, it was a decent early season and very good snow throughout the seasonThen came the long awaited March to guide for ski touring in Armenia.
