FR:6a Wish Up

A fun route with varied climbing. Start in a crack and work your way up the face traversing to the right (crux) round the corner and finish up the easier slab.

Sport 15m
FR:5c Redemtion

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

Sport 15m
FR:5b Cheghk

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

Sport 21m
FR:5b Salamadra

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

Sport 20m
FR:6c+ Nzhdeh

When it comes to movement this is one of the bets pitches at the crag! Sadly it has been the site of much controversy regarding it's bolting. What was originally a perfectly safe route has been dumbed down by retro-bolting from a few weak-minded individuals...If you want to climb the route in it's formal glory, only clip the original bolts (it's very easy to distinguish due to the new bolts being very shiny)

anyways...climb up the easy slab to where the wall turns to vertical. Make some big moves on good incut edges until you can clip the anchors from a stance under the big flake. Clipping the anchor may be harder if you're short.

Sport 24m
FR:6c+ Hell's Diamond

A wonderful, long route that has managed to avoid the wrath of retro-bolting... Climb up the easy slab to face climbing and a dihedral with technical and thought provoking moves.

Sport 30m
{FR} 8a/a+ մելանխոլիա (Melancholia)

With engaging climbing the whole way up this is one of the best routes in Armenia so far! The beginning can use a bit of cleaning up but it's all there.

Start with an easy slab to a small boulder problem through a roof. A few bolts of tech face climbing brings you to good rest before the final headwall. Bust out a hard boulder problem with either long moves or use some small intermediates and try not to fall off until you clip the anchors!

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!

FR:6b+ The Apple of Chick and Fox Sport
West
FR:8a The Maple Way of Drilling Sport
FR:6c Cliff Chicken

Climb through the juggy lower section to the thin crux at the roof

Sport 15m
FR:6c The French King

The longest route on this wall. Varied moves bring you up on large pockets and edges. Move between flakes at the top. Wanders a bit and will test your route finding abilities!

Sport 24m
FR:6b+ Institutionalized

Steep and pumpy start leads to a slaby crux just before the anchors

Sport 12m
FR:6b Death Spank

Thin and crimpy. Stay somewhat right of the bolts. Move left over the bulge to the anchors

Sport 12m
FR:5a Centepide

Fun thin pockets at the start into a crack system to a fantastic finish.

Sport 15m
FR:5c Side Swipe

Six bolts to shared anchors with Centipede.

Sport 15m
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.

Sport 15m
FR:6b+ Fire and Brimstone

Steep and pumpy with super cool moves make this a must do route.

Sport 15m
FR:6a+ Spinal Crack

Great moves through steep terrain.

Sport 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.

Sport 15m
FR:6b+ Ararat

Thin and Slabby. What used to be a serious lead has been dumbed down by retro-bolting...Still a good route

Sport 17m
FR:5a Screaming Khorovats Sport
FR:5b Cheese and Wieners Sport
FR:6a Ignorance

Reachey moves toward the top.

Sport 12m
FR:6c World Famous Nobody

Mellow moves leads to a rather exiting crux towards the top! Bolts to a two chain anchor.

Sport 12m
FR:5b Estragon and Sisy Bolts

Short, fun and a bit slabby.
