Description

Contrary to what the name may suggest, the gully is rarely in the shade until late afternoon. There is however a stream running through with a fenced off water pump. The lower wall features the hardest routes in the Bisektor, including 'Flor' at 8b (.13d), currently Armenia's hardest route. The higher wall offers a broader range of grades with some pumpy climbing.

Approach

Walk down the road past the Bisektor, before the first big left turn walk straight and take a small path down into the gully.

Start up easy slab then follow the blue streak up and left through the overhang and some delicate moves near the top. Extending a few draws might help.

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.
