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.

Boulder 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

Boulder 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...

Boulder
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.

Sport 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

Sport 10m
Noravank Canyon Take Off
{FR} 7a+ Bjan Yourd Trad 97m, 3
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.
