The event crew spent 9 days in Noravank canyon from July 2-10. The extreme hot weather didn’t allow climbing much stuff, but  one trad route and few boulder problems where set up.

The “Moon Fish” 90m, is classic two pitches trad climbing for Noravank canyon area. R1-6a, 45m, R2-6a, 45m. There is a possibility of continuing the climb till the top of the cliffs.

The bouldering section was discovered in limestone formation, shaped like a circus by the water,  in the hills behind the village Areni. Vadik sirekanyan did couple of V3-4 problems. The area has huge potential for bouldering and sport climbing. 

The next spots are Hell’s canyon and Arpa gorge!
