Up The Rocks

The project of “Arev” Armenian First Ascent Open Festival

“Moon fish” 100meters, two pitches 5.8 A0 FA.

The description of the route:
R1 50m, 5.8 A0. Clean climbed, two bolts on the anchor (not rappel bolts !)
Cams – Metolius from #00 to #10, BD C4 #6
Chocks – middle and large sizes of camp stoppers

R2 45-50m, 5.8 A1, natural anchor (the tree on the shelf)
3 pitons,(left pitons 1)
1 bolt(left bolts 1)
Cams – Metolius from #00 to #10, BD C4 #6
Chocks – middle and large sizes of camp stoppers

A lot of small blocks of rocks were dropped from the crack of the second pitch but on the end of the pitch below the anchor shelf there is one quite scary sounding when knocking. So be careful!

On the next climb we plan to remove the pitons of the second pitch and add the second rappel bolt on the first anchor as the route is cleaner and does need any pitons.

DO NOT ADD ANY BOLTS OR PITONS !!!
