攀登 in Central Israel as Hang dog

Broke a big piece of rock (left of the bolt line) and swung off

Muscle cramp. Went for a big move and fell once.

Remember to warm up your fingers... Commit to the left-side jug up top and you'll make it.

Crimpy. Nice sequence at the crux. Uncharacteristically good route for this crag.

Not for warmup. Pretty hard, probably 6a+/b

Foot slipped in the middle. Polished feet with decent handholds.

I think 5+/6a if you go right of the 3rd bolt then back left. If you stick left of the bolt probably 6a+ or more. Cleaned one very loose rock on the ascent.

Heavily sandbagged IMO. Hard (short) 6b+ at least. Nice delicate start with monos. Physical crux on sharp pockets and mediocre sidepull. Upper part is runout between bolt 4 and the anchor.

Crux is significantly easier with the quickdraw pre-placed... Then I guess you can crack climb directly or traverse right then back left. Hard for the grade.

First half of the route is polished and unclear, with some rusty pitons (the new bolts are fine, though). The second half is trivial but rope angle makes for horrible drag. You can't see the anchor until the very end.

Polished up to the crux, then a long move into better holds.

Difficult middle section.

Delicate face into the obvious bulge. Crux is getting your feet up somehow, the rest is easier.
