Routes in Middle East for selected grade

Has some of the most solid rock at the crag. Sit or stand start and go straight up the face on small and large pockets. A committing top out.

Hard starting moves that gradually get easier.

2 bolt anchor, no chain.

Climb up the fragile rock countering a distinct crux. Would be best to wear a helmet

Lower crux to easier top

Bouldery start leads to easier climbing

Boulder start to a small runout on chossy rock, to a small bulge at the top.

A tough boulder problem down low leads to easier climbing at the top

A bit pumpy, similar to Alex in Fatherland.

Cool overhanging route. Beware of rope friction when lowering

Despite the modest grades this is not exactly a good beginners multi-pitch. With loose rock on virtually every pitch, sound judgement and route-finding skills are a must. The first two pitches are both very loose. The 3rd pitch has the best quality rock on the whole route and is pretty fun. The 4th pitch is short, and chossy but slightly less so than the first two pitches. The last pitch is higher quality, but has some dangerous death blocks that can be avoided if you're careful. Beautiful views the whole way up!

P1 5.8 60 ft: Climb up the corner/slab using side pulls and high steps until you traverse right to the anchors. The crux may be figuring out which holds are good enough to pull on.

P2 5.8 45 ft: Climb up the easy slab. Lots of loose rock here so be careful!

P3 5.10C 80 ft: The rock quality is much better on this pitch! Balance-y moves and technical face climbing lead you to a very comfortable ledge.

P4 5.8 80 ft: Climb up the easier slab to the base of the much steeper final pitch.

P5 5.11b 115 ft: Climb up the steepening face with awesome exposure! Starts off relatively easy and gets harder towards the top. Watch out for some very big loose blocks near the top!

Rap the route with 2 60m or a single 70m rope.

The bolted route to the left of Richter Scale. Climbs up a face using crimps and big huecos and flakes.

Finishes under the big roof. Has cleaned up significantly over the years but still be weary of a couple of thin looking flakes.

a 60m gets you down just fine

Bouldery overhanging jugs lead to a good rest 3/4 way up. Then steep technical climbing to a crux at the last 10 feet pulling over the roof. Start is behind a grove of trees. Beginning holds are a bit high up, stand on a tree if you must.

2-bolt top anchor with a chain

Technical slab with a healthy amount of crimps, slopers, and high steps. Pull left around a corner and join up with Richer scale, which means the crux of the route is the same as Richter scale's, pulling over the roof at the last 10 feet of the climb. Beginning is up a small path behind a grove of trees.

Climbs the slabby to vertical face to the left of the triangle routes. A sustained pitch with multiple cruxes between good rests. Flakes and layback moves with plenty of highsteps thrown in. A bit dirty at the moment.

Thin and reachy. Climb up an easy slab to a hollow sounding flake. Make strange moves with underclings and high steps to a small ledge where you can take both hands off. Then quest up difficult to read terrain with no so great hand holds but decent feet. Gets easier the higher you go.

Climb up the slab/face on sharp rock.

Climb through the juggy lower section to the thin crux at the roof

The longest route on this wall. Varied moves bring you up on large pockets and edges. Move between flakes at the top. Wanders a bit and will test your route finding abilities!

Steep and pumpy start leads to a slaby crux just before the anchors

Thin and crimpy. Stay somewhat right of the bolts. Move left over the bulge to the anchors

Steep and pumpy with super cool moves make this a must do route.

Thin and Slabby. What used to be a serious lead has been dumbed down by retro-bolting...Still a good route

Mellow moves leads to a rather exiting crux towards the top! Bolts to a two chain anchor.

This is the left of the two bolted lines going over the water.

To access Fishing For Freedom it is currently best to rap in from above and either set up a TR where the belayer is on the other side of the river, or to pull your ropes are you rap. Or you could try to swim there and get established on a very small ledge. Either way you're probably gonna get your rope wet.

A polished start on incut side-pulls leads to easier terrain and a nice ledge rest. When ready fire up the arete on sloping holds and pockets. End on an awesome ledge. Be careful not to blow the first few moves or you might end up in the water!!

Climb up the pocketed face using the right arete. Easy climbing leads you to the last bolt where you have to make big move. Don't blow the last move or you'll swing into the arete..

A very cool face climb with a thought provoking crux. Climb up solid but hollow flakes trending right underneath a bulge. Figure out how to pull the bulge and regain your composure. A few long moves lead to easier climbing. Once you clip the last bolt, traverse right to a ledge with the anchor.

Bring strong fingers for this one! Climb up an easy start and make a strange mantle on to the ledge. When ready climb up and slightly left on small crimps for a few bolts to a large edge. Make a few more big moves up and right to a big rail. Easier moves bring you to the top.

The lovely route up the steep wall just right of "No2". Some of the holds are a little fragile.

Tricky crux at around the halfway mark.

Rebolted December 2022 to avoid the loose blocks and run outs at the start. Now continues straight up.

The great sustained route up the rightward trending cracks. Finish direct up the steep slab.

Yet another classic. A delicate and sustained crimp-fest.

Even better than the previous two. Another varied route.

Excellent route with several hard sections. Leave something in the tank for the tuffa at the top.

Excellent route on positive holds with a crux high up.

Takes the wall close to the beehive - take care if they are active! 2 variations at the beehive. going right you can avoid the beehive

New route right of Microcosmos. Sustained, technical, and fingery.

Hard and sharp start, bouldery/brave crux, Easy-ish second half.

Another good 6c.

Really nice route with a bouldery crux at one third height; take on the left of the bulge for full tick; deduct half a grade if go right close to Midheia.

Sharp in parts, which combined with its steepness, makes care with hand placements essential. Good route nevertheless.

Tricky crux at half height.

About 10m to the right of the previous route (mind the brambles!). Tricky moves on sharp edges until the angle eases.

Just to the left of the shallow chimney, a characteristic dihedral. You need to make bridging moves up the groove, a really big split in the middle, then follow the vertical wall to the top.

The nice route up just right of the shallow chimney. Follow crack until it peters out, pulls over the small bulge, then easier ground to the top.

The grade was given starting from the top of the rock. Starting from the ground is harder but you might get injured in case of a fall.

The wall right of the big corner.

The superb crack-line (glue-ins) where the path arrives at the crag. The name of the climb is written on the start of the route.

Hard route with two cruxes one in the middle and the other on top. Easier for the first crux to traverse right. Harder if you go straight probably a 6c/c+ move

Difficult start and tricky finish.

Excellent route with a bouldery start and a demanding crux in the middle.

Amazing route with a tricky start. The crux is slabby and technical.

A perfect route, 2 finger solution in the middle and a bouldery crux on top make the route a must-do!

A difficult beginning leads to an "easy" beta-dependent crux. Route has been re-bolted recently.
