Yerevan Channel | |||||
V1 | ★★★ Warm down
Old school (some may find it hard for the grade). A great eliminate! Sit start with your left foot smeared, left hand on the arete. Right foot smeared, and right hand on a low side pull. Right hand goes up high to a small scoop (1 finger will be solid, the others will kind of be crimped on top of it, or you could try to gaston it) then lunge for the top with either your left or right hand. The left foot smear is really bad so expect your foot to pop unless you keep good body tension | 2m | |||
V1 | ★★ Fat Finger
sit start with left hand on a small crimp, and right on a prom side pull and reach up to a big crimp that you can match. Make your way up using small crimps and maybe a mono out left if you feel so inclined. Get to a huge sloper at 3/4 heights, then make a big reach past the void to a small but solid pinch. Gingerly bring your feet up and slap the top and top out easily. The jug out right is off. FA: Luca Keushguerian, 2009 | 4m | |||
Yerevan Old School | |||||
{FR} 6a+ | ★ Peaceful Sky
Climb the arete with a bit of exposure Set: Tim Makariev | 12m | |||
{FR} 6a+ | ★ Blue Grey Fun
Technical moves off the ground that move up into a pocketed face. 2-bolt anchor without a chain. | 14m, 8 | |||
{FR} 6a+ | Pick work
They say it used to be a dry tooling route. Some may find a section between 4th and 5th quickdraws a bit tricky and slightly commiting as there are loose holds and a huge but slopy right foot. You'll find yourself in a good stemming position right after, though. There's a 2-bolt anchor without any rings so you'd better clean the route on a top-rope and remove the anchor after topping out. It's safe as the shelf at the top is huge. | 12m, 7 | |||
Yerevan Physic Wall | |||||
{FR} 6a+ | Salty Soup
| 24m | |||
Yerevan Shengavit (Gurgen Melikyan crag) | |||||
{FR} 6a+ | Citik
A steep start leads to a puzzling crux Set: Zaven Araqelyan | 10m | |||
{FR} 6a+ | ★ Alex in Fatherland
Slightly overhanging and pumpy. A bit reachy at the bottom Set: Mkhitar Mkhitarian | 10m | |||
Noravank Canyon Central Sector | |||||
{FR} 6a+ | Yeghegnadzor | 35m | |||
{FR} 6a+ | ★★ Rainy Day
The first pitch is classic face and crack climbing with the second pitch being chimney and off width. Pitch 1: Start on Knife and break left after the 2nd bolt onto the small ledge. Clip a bolt to protect the first crux and then move to the duo cracks. After the cracks clip the bolt and do a few harder moves. Keep it moving through the 3 m run-out to the 2 bolt anchor. (5.10a) Pitch 2: Move up the lie-back crack into the off-width. Chimney to ledge and finish on the 3rd pitch of Knife. (5.9) FA: Karsten Delap & Paige Marta Skiba, 2012 | 55m, 2 | |||
{FR} 6a+ | Donini Watched | 70m, 2 | |||
{FR} 6a+ | ★★ Kaitsak
One of the older routes and definitely an area classic. Bouldery start (easier if taller) leads to moderate pocket pulling straight up the face. A must do for the area. Be prepared to have dozens of tourists stop and watch/take pictures of you! | 20m, 10 | |||
Noravank Canyon Rose Sector | |||||
{FR} 6a+ | ★★ Marshuka Melee
Pockets and crimps on great limestone to awesome lie backing on a right facing flake. FA: Jared Nielson | 32m | |||
Noravank Canyon Bezoar | |||||
{FR} 6a+ | Something to go back | 20m | |||
Noravank Canyon Areni Sector | |||||
{FR} 6a+ | ★★ Scorpion | 18m | |||
Hell's Canyon West | |||||
FR:6a+ | ★★ Frostbite
Scramble up the blocks at ground level, to the thin and reachey crux then finish up on the last few bolts of Fire and Brimstone. | 15m | |||
FR:6a+ | Spinal Crack
Great moves through steep terrain. | 15m | |||
FR:6a+ | ★★ Noy
One of the first bolted routes at the crag. A bolt was added down low to eliminate a scary run out. A slabby route that demands your attention. | 15m | |||
Ohanavan East | |||||
{FR} 5b - 6a+ | ★★ Pedigree
Climb the crack in between Crack for Cheese and Middle Finger. | 15m | |||
Dilijan Bisetktor The Empress Slabs | |||||
5.10b | ★★★ Highway to the Comfort Zone
A delicate start leads to fun laybacking up the obvious slots. FA: Graham McGrenere, Aug 2019 Set: Graham McGrenere, Aug 2019 | 15m, 5 | |||
5.10b | ★ Pulling Shapes
Climb past the corner to a moon shaped crack. A reachy boulder problem takes you to the last three bolts of UWC Rocks. FA: Kim McGrenere, Aug 2019 Set: Val Ismaili & Kim McGrenere, Aug 2019 |
