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.

Lower crux to easier top

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Start up the wide crack of "H gamati", or around in the narrow chimney around to the right. A neat traverse gains the exposed face/arete.

#SD in the faint corner and get established in the flakey crack. Make somewhat big moves through good holds and make a final committing move to the lip. Such a nice flow!

Can start from the boulder or skip the first horizontal bolt and start standing up (better have boulder mats).

Multipitch with routes "Puza", "Kiwi", "Hera" possible.

Multipitch with routes "Puza", "Kiwi", "Hera" possible.

Multipitch with routes "Puza", "Kiwi", "Hera" possible.

Multipitch from routes "Cerber", "Hades", "Corner" and "Chimney" possible. From route "Nif-Nif" it's also possible but not nice to do.

When coming from "Corner" or "Chimney", you have to climb up to the anchor at the start of this route.

Additional bolts and anchors (around 27m high) are available.

Rappelling necessary, walking down not possible.
