A small photo and video report of the attempt of "Take off" in Noravank canyon.
While the ski tour program in Armenia last year, Philippe Descamps, with his group of skiers, was interested in the ski tour trip in Georgia for March 2013.
A great pleasure and fun is to ski with a good friend Alexey Shustrov, who investigated so much to promote ski touring in Armenia.
“Eagles”, the way “Eagle ski club” members call themselves here, were the most cheerful group I have skied with!
Ok, now I’m happy with a sustainable climbing partner Jared Nielson, a Big Wall climber from California.
June 7-11 was spent to set 8 more sport climbing routes in Noravank canyon, at the new sector called Areni.
On February 13-14, 2010, the Championship of all age group climbers was held in Moscow, on the great climbing walls DDS (Youth Sport Club).
Could it be an any better time for route setting than a COVID lockdown period?
I finally skied one of my projects in Fox Mountains, solo. My skiing buddies were busy to support me on this backcountry trip, and the weather is warming drastically in the valley now, so it had to be done now or postponed to next year which I didn't like for some reasons.

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.
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 season. Then came the long awaited March to guide for ski touring in Armenia.
