The part in Garni Gorge was more productive in terms of exploring all the gorge and it’s branches to unveil the climbing potential. More rocks with solid 15m cracks were found down the river stream.
Further the basalt formations up to 100m high (not columns) just stretch for well kilometers, providing potential for hundreds of new routes. In the gorge we climbed only Will Nazaraian’s “Doudouk” 5.10d, 30m.
