Routes as trad in Armenia

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

Natural anchor.

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)

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!

It is the crack on the left of the route Something from nothing. You see the anchor from the bottom.

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 past 2 bolts to a beautiful right facing corner. Shares anchors with Lichen My Whistle

Climbs the corner immediately right of Point. Takes good protection. Shares the same anchors with Point

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

Start up the ramp for Gohar's slab and climb up the right of the two cracks on the face. Face climbing around the thinning crack leads you higher. Small boulder problem towards the top rewards you with a few good finger locks to the clipping jug. Great nut placements are to be found on this route!

Climb up the super low angled slab making a high-step crux towards the top. Has a two bolt anchor at the end of the slab before the wall turns vertical. A great route for children or first timers. If you don't have trad gear you might as well just solo it to set it up for beginners. It's really easy... Also you could climb a "direct" start with the short slabby hand crack, which is kinda fun. The dual cracks up top (left is easier) have been led but there is no top anchor due to chossy nature of the rock at the top. If you're going to do the "second" pitch or link it to the top, make a gear anchor and belay your second up. Goes at about 5.10

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.

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.
