Routes in Armenia for selected grade

First bolt is definetely high for a beginner route so one has to be mentally ready for it.

Go past Seven to the left and here you are. There's an obvious crack line around the corner.

Natural anchor.

Dirty start leads to friable holds. Wear a helmet

Dirty and loose the whole way up. Wear a helmet.

Steep start to a small technical face

A good warm up for the area

They say it's 5c. If you want it to be that you'd better climb a couple of first moves more to the right not straight up, though. Pretty slabby one. Good to get the hand of your foot work

Easy lay back moves lead to jamming with your right hand and crimping with your left. Crux is pulling over the bulge at the top which involves awkward hand jams. The bolt for the crux is poorly placed, if you blow it, you could deck on a lower ledge.

Originally bolted by Alex Chabot and called Flake Appeal. In the spring of 2013 Mkhitar Mkhitaryan lead the route on gear, then made the decision to chop almost all the bolts and rename the route.

Two 60m ropes should get you to the ground, but as always, knot the end of your ropes!

the left most of the 4 sport climbs. Climb the easy pocketed slab encountering a bulge near the top.

Similar to Alecram but slightly harder. Climb up the pocketed slab and shares the last few bolts with Alecram and finishes at the same anchor

Similar to the other routes next to it. Enjoy the pocketed slab, climbing over the occasional bulge. Shares the same anchor with the two routes to the left.

Probably the best line of this cluster of routes. Climb up the slab, bust out a small roof, the climb up a faint dihedral to the top. Ends at it's own set of anchors.

This climbs the rib ditectly below the "not a church" religious site.

A long route that climbs to the left of an obvious crack.

Another long easy route. Make sure you're solid at the grade as there are significant runs in-between the bolts.

Six bolts to shared anchors with Centipede.

Short, fun and a bit slabby.

One of the better easier routes in the area. As per usual it's a bit dirty, bit the movements are great and it's one of the few routes on this side of the river that doesn't start over the water. If you are proficient at jamming (hand and fingers) it will feel super cruiser. Gets shade most of the day!

Tackle steep and chossy terrain for a few bolts until you get to a good stance under a bulge. Climb straight up the bulge for 2 bolts on somewhat hard-to-see but good edges (you need to find them between all the lichen.) Finish up on easier terrain. The bolting is a bit funky on this one. I'd recommend long draws on the first half of the route to prevent rope drag up top

Bouldery start leads to an easy slab then a ledge rest bellow an overhang/ bottomless arete. Surmount the overhang by doing a super cool move out right to the arete!

A bit wandering, but one of the best at the crag! Bouldery climbing brings you to a somewhat dirty mantle above the 2nd bolt. Compose yourself then tackle the bulge above for 3 bolts of steeper climbing on big pocket/jugs to get to another ledge. Clip a few more bolts on easier terrain to gain the anchors.

Climb the crack in between Crack for Cheese and Middle Finger.

It is the crack on the right of the bolted route pedigree. You can climb the route trad and use the anchor of the bolted pedigree route.

Climb up the shallow corner to a pedestal out right, then climb the face and left arete to a brief ledge rest. When ready tackle the last 2 bolts of steeper climbing using pockets, jugs, and the left arete. Try not to deviate too far to the right at any point or you'll find yourself on harder terrain with less flowing movement.

This is the left leaning crack to the right of Point/Counterpoint. Easy moves lead to a yoga-like step up onto a big ledge. Takes great gear

Climb up the boulder to a ledge to start the route. The beginning is the crux where you need to stem and get a few finger locks to reach the better crack above. Once past the initial steep part jam and layback your way up the corner with the occasional jug/large edge on either face for feet/rest. Shares the same anchors with Let's Face It.

Climb up the beautiful easy slab to the base of the steep wall. Climb out right using pinches and sloping feet to get better holds higher up then traverse left and use the corner-crackand the occasional face hold until you're faced with a beached-whale-type-mantle onto the belay ledge. Technique will help you on this route a lot more than brute strength will. Looks a lot easier than it is.

Start up come choosy rock until you're underneath a huge block. Hand traverse then continue up the face on incut rails

An adventure sport climb! (if there is such a thing) Boulder up to a ledge and clip some bolts. then stem the chimney using the occasional jug and block as holds (the blocks appear to be solid) Get onto the large ledge then climb up the right side/ slab then back left to clip the anchors.

An awesome crack in a corner! If you don't know how to jam this will feel much harder! Climb up the corner with great jams. Pull a small bulge to get to the ledge.
