Routes in Middle East for selected grade

Traverses the entire cliff form right to left, then back again. Start on the right and encounter a low crux at about midway after a good stemming rest. Easier moves brings you all the way to the left side of the cliff where another decent rest can be had. On the way back bust up and traverse the upper lip (2nd crux) dip back down when you can (down climb the crack) and finish back where you started.

Sit start (crux) down and on the right side of the cave on a sidepull (left of the wall you will climb.) throw up to a good flat edge and then to another side pull. then climb right into the stand start. Make a few moves on more side pulls and a thin flake to a good pocket thumb catch, a throw to a 2 finger pocket, then a big move to a jug up high. Enjoy easier moves to the top until you're faced with a very committing top out straight up (the holds are there!) The stand start goes at a mellow v1

A wonderful climb that would be a great highball if not for the death landing. Climb up underneath the overhang and clip the high bolt. Undercling and heel hook and make a big throw to a jug up high. clip the 2nd bolt and walk off. Then figure out how to get your gear back...

Start from a big jug and climb up to the roof where you find a savage bouldery crux to go past. Then you come to a slabby technical part and a traverse section after a 4-th quickdraw that joins the route with Blue Gray Fun

You'd better bring either a second rope or 3-4 extensible quickdraws to avoid a massive rope drag after the traverse.

2-bolt anchor without a chain.

An engaging climb bring your crimp strength. Possibly pre-clip the second bolt.

Somewhat sequential climbing on pockets brings you up the wall with rests right where you need them. Near the top the character of the climbing changes nature and you are forced to grab some rather small crimps on the steepest part of the wall.

Have your belayer clip into the low bolt by the boulder and belay there.

Note on First Free Ascent: The first free ascent of this route was sniped from me by a couple of visiting Russian climbers who ignored my red tag.

Tricky face climbing leads right and up the steep slab.

Start up the right facing corner. Head up the right leaning crack, pull over a bulge to a slab finish.

Start up Highway to the Comfort Zone and after the penultimate bolt head left to join the finish of Big Red Villis.

Excellent climbing past the blob then up the ramp to a steep finish. Harder and better since the loss of a big hold.

7a+ since March 2020 (from 7a) due to a broken hold. Now the middle section has a new sequence.

A hard short technical route in the 'hidden' sector.

Recently rebolted. It is a straight line now starting from old Stefanos Direct.

Recently rebolted. It is a straight line now starting from old Mitsaki.

A new route between Kypseli and Microcosmos. Grade to be confirmed. Longest route on the Main Wall.

Big step up to start. Difficult crux through the overhang, then vertical ground to the top.

#SD Topo.

Start with a big block and climb the side wall via a tiny groove.

The huge overhang is taken direct at its biggest span. Originally done as a traditionally protected route, which must have been fun!

The crux is in the second exit. 7a+ if you go straight. Easier traverse right maybe 6c+/7a.

Same start as "Mascle Eater" but follow the bolts going straight up.

Starts at the same point as "O Dromos tou Drakou" put follows the right going crack crosses "mia eksada redbull" then goes up.

Start on edges and a large hollow feature and climb past two diagonal cracks for a tall finish.

A very intricate start up to the crux. Height specific.

Very short and powahfull. Not yet checked the anchors. Avoid until further notice.

#SD The very north-east corner of the main boulder. Nice and appealing sit-start. Then use the edge for your left hand.

On the north-west corner of the small boulder. Good luck in figuring the sit-start.

Official grade is 5c or 6a but must be a mistake.

The last hold is good - you can commit

The finish is considered just reaching the last hold; don't try to climb up on the shelf, it is too risky.

Sitting start.

From left to right or right to left is a bit more difficult

The leftmost point is the start where the ladder is (basically the leftmost point of the crag in general) The rightmost point is the one near big fallen rocks (from a mammoth logo to the right)
