Routes as sport in Western Azarbaijan

Easy slab climbing. Be mindful of the tree roots to the right of the anchor.

Easy climb with no real crux. Easy finish to the right, or power up to the left for a more spicey finish.

Nice line, straight up. Easier on the left of the draws.

Climb on the face, power traverse to under the roof and then climb up and traverse left. No anchor so cleaning it is a nightmare.

Nice easy multi-pitch up the face. Great rest half way up. Cruxy move on a good crimper and then easy climb to the first anchor. Not sure where the second anchor is.

First route at the very right hand lip of the cave.

STRONGLY recommended to (you MUST. Bolts will be removed soon) stop at the 4th bolt (as drawn in the route diagram) as a bird has nested in the rock hole past this bolt. Powerful traverse on overhanging section. Be VERY mindful of the other bird nest to the far right of the second and below the third bolt.

Where else will you get an opportunity to practice, crimps, pockets, sloppers, toe-heel lock, overhead undercling, and a knee bar, all in one climb?

2nd route inside the cave. Start 1m left of Khoffash. Gorgeous route, overhang all the way on beautiful pockets. Find the knee bar and make your send an easy one (if you're tall). Shorter senders may benefit from a right hand variant to the final bolt. No anchor makes it an absolute b*&$h to clean! Be nice and bring a bailout biner...

New open project. Likely finishes at the same last bolt as Holoo (no anchor!) Be nice and bring a bailout biner...

Appears to be an unfinished/semi-bolted route. Needs some love and imagination.

Last route on the far left hand lip of the cave. Easy start leads to a powerful traverse to the lip of the cave. Engage toes or heels to make life easier. Practice your hangboard game for the next move and knee in for some rest. Finish at the rusted chain.

2m to the left of Taalaan. The very first route on the left side of the cave, on the outside.

Legend has it a French couple came in and bolted this beauty! Gorgeous climb with shiny new bolts. Beautiful and long, no real crux but some may find the traverse to the crack a bit exciting.

The last line of the crag. Starts 2m left of the French. Appears to share the same anchor at the top with French.

(1) Feels likd 5.10b if you go to the left (via the crack) and right (skip the buldge) with the crux right before the first bolt. Cruisy climb to the anchor all the way. For a spicier climb, follow the bolted line exactly and be rewarded with a 5.11a climb. 9 FB

(2) 5.10b Straight up from the anchor to the first bolt then lean to the right slightly and power up to the old rusty anchor. The pitons to the far right are not safe and belong to an old route. Bolts are spaced 2-3m apart but holds aplenty. 8 FB +1 Piton

(3) 5.10d/11a Spaced-out bolts leads to enjoyable spicey climb. You do not want to fall off before the 2nd bolt as the ledge is awfully close. Belayer needs to be extra watchful. You also most certainly don't want to fall past the 6th bolt. It's a spicy 6m+ gap to the anchor on positively angled wall. Goodbye ankles and knees. Someone do everyone a favour and (a) whack another bolt between the 6th and the anchor (b) move the anchor up 6m to the next ledge. 6 FB

(4) One bolt leads to a jungle of pitons and what have you, skip them all but one and just whack your quick draw on the next bolt. Cruisy climb leads to anchor at the top. Choss fest with rock falls all around. 5.9

Old unmaintained route. DO NOT SEND. Third bolt is broken off and you WILL hit the ground if you take a fall. Does not appear to provide options for any gear either, so no mixed-climbing.

Short route and reasonably easy to get to. Set by four friends on the last day of a Persian new year.
