Yerevan Peninsula High Balls | |||||
V4 | ★★★ To the South and Back
Traverses the entire cliff form right to left, then back again. Start on the right and encounter a low crux at about midway after a good stemming rest. Easier moves brings you all the way to the left side of the cliff where another decent rest can be had. On the way back bust up and traverse the upper lip (2nd crux) dip back down when you can (down climb the crack) and finish back where you started. | 30m | |||
V4 | ★★★ Pass The Viskey
Sit start (crux) down and on the right side of the cave on a sidepull (left of the wall you will climb.) throw up to a good flat edge and then to another side pull. then climb right into the stand start. Make a few moves on more side pulls and a thin flake to a good pocket thumb catch, a throw to a 2 finger pocket, then a big move to a jug up high. Enjoy easier moves to the top until you're faced with a very committing top out straight up (the holds are there!) The stand start goes at a mellow v1 | 7m | |||
FB:6B | ★★ Peninsula
A wonderful climb that would be a great highball if not for the death landing. Climb up underneath the overhang and clip the high bolt. Undercling and heel hook and make a big throw to a jug up high. clip the 2nd bolt and walk off. Then figure out how to get your gear back... | ||||
Yerevan Old School | |||||
{FR} 7a+ | ★★ Ousta Souren
Start from a big jug and climb up to the roof where you find a savage bouldery crux to go past. Then you come to a slabby technical part and a traverse section after a 4-th quickdraw that joins the route with Blue Gray Fun You'd better bring either a second rope or 3-4 extensible quickdraws to avoid a massive rope drag after the traverse. 2-bolt anchor without a chain. | 14m, 8 | |||
Yerevan Shengavit (Gurgen Melikyan crag) | |||||
{FR} 7a+ | Hurry Up
An engaging climb bring your crimp strength. Possibly pre-clip the second bolt. Set: Zaven Araqelyan | 10m | |||
{FR} 7a | ★★ Black Dog
A boulder problem down low leads to easier climbing. | 10m | |||
FR:7a | Ground Zero
Start from the ground, not from the rock. Beware of rope friction when lowering Set: Stas Mikhaylov | ||||
Noravank Canyon Rose Sector | |||||
{FR} 7a | ★ Cucumber
Climb up the face on crimps with good feet the whole way up. As you make your way to the very top you'll encounter two drilled pockets, it is possible to skip them. Sustained and techy all the way up Pay attention to a number of quickdraws before jumping in. You can skip a few of 'em, though | 30m, 17 | |||
Noravank Canyon Take Off | |||||
{FR} 7a+ | Bjan Yourd | 97m, 3 | |||
Hell's Canyon East | |||||
FR:7a | ★★ Sea of Dream
A massive route that climbs the entire cliffs face. Climb up the vertical face encountering a mini crux on sloping edges. climb a few easier bolts to a ledge which you could bivi on. Rest up and when ready fire the last 40 feet of power-crimping on beautiful rock (real crux). If not for the ledge rest it would be an incredible mega-endurance route. This route is LONG so bring either an 80m rope or two 60m to get off. Because it is not very overhanging, cleaning on rappel is ok! | 40m | |||
Ohanavan West | |||||
{FR} 7a+ | ★★★ Something From Nothing
Somewhat sequential climbing on pockets brings you up the wall with rests right where you need them. Near the top the character of the climbing changes nature and you are forced to grab some rather small crimps on the steepest part of the wall. Have your belayer clip into the low bolt by the boulder and belay there. Note on First Free Ascent: The first free ascent of this route was sniped from me by a couple of visiting Russian climbers who ignored my red tag. FA: unknown Set: Luca Keushguerian, May 2020 | 21m | |||

{FR} 6c+/7a | ★ KSM | 12m | |||
Dilijan Bisetktor Shady Water Gully | |||||
5.11d | ★★ Pressure Pump
Sustained and pumpy climbing with hard to find feet takes you past a V-shaped flake then up and right past a series of cracks before heading right around the bulge. FFA: Luca Keushguerian, Aug 2019 Set: Val Ismaili, Aug 2019 | 25m | |||
Dilijan Bisetktor The Nest | |||||
5.11d | ★★ Murder Rocks
