ASCENT

 

In 1829 on September 27 in the history of world mountaineering Abovyan and Parrot were first to ascend the top of biblical Ararat. A month later on October 27 they ascended the top of Little Ararat.

For the second time Abovyan set off a journey to Ararat with a chief of geology department of Derpt University H. Abich in 1844. This time they didn’t succeed to climb to the top of Ararat.

The last ascent to Ararat Abovyan made with an English traveller Henry Denby Simour in 1846.
