Routes in Middle East for selected grade

With engaging climbing the whole way up this is one of the best routes in Armenia so far! The beginning can use a bit of cleaning up but it's all there.

Start with an easy slab to a small boulder problem through a roof. A few bolts of tech face climbing brings you to good rest before the final headwall. Bust out a hard boulder problem with either long moves or use some small intermediates and try not to fall off until you clip the anchors!

Above the Champs-Élysées ledge, they joined Ramedame (Remy-Remy, 1986) and followed this route for another six pitches (up to 6b) to the top. They placed 11 protection bolts on the new pitches and outfitted the belays with anchor bolts.
