Sayat-Nova

This is a direct start into Christian Griffith's route "

The Color of Pomegranates

." It's not really a route you want to go ground up on. If you do, bring some small nuts and a few finger-sized cams. I added this direct start and two bolts to link this into the

Twist and Crawl

project, but I did not add any bolts to

The Color of Pomegranates

. I would suggest you climb

Darkness Till Dawn

and traverse over to the anchor. You can then hang your draws. I hang a 6 foot sling from the second to last bolt and a 7 foot sling from the 3rd to last bolt. I know, it's silly, but it's worth it!

The Color of Pomegranates

refers to a 1969 film about Sayat-Nova, an Armenian poet. The film was originally titled Sayat-Nova, but the communist party changed its name to

The Color of Pomegranates

in an attempt to censor it.

This route is on the slightly overhanging face to the right of

Darkness Till Dawn

.

8 bolts to a two bolt anchor.
