Description Suggest change

This route was the scene of recent violence - to the buttress that once towered above and the nearby trees, which bore the brunt of the rocks crashing down. The crux, as usual, is near the start, getting over the first and only roof. The rest is a romp with some wonderful views.


About the name: The Gulag refers to a system of forced labor camps in the Soviet Union. It is believed that over 18 million people served time in the Gulag, between 1930 and 1953, and over 1.5 million died there as a result of their detention. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a prisoner there for eight years and wrote about his experience in The Gulag Archipelago.
