Yoni's Crag
5+ Morning Stretch Sport Average
6a+ McGrammar Sport Good
Muscle cramp. Went for a big move and fell once.

 
6a+ Unnamed 6 — 2 attempts Sport Very Good
Failed onsight. Easier the second go around. Focus on feet, then reach for the jugs post-crux. Suggested the name since I held the middle pocket(s) like a bowling ball

 
6c Unnamed 4 Sport Very Good
Really solid attempt. Missed the side jug and tore a flapper..

 
5 Unnamed 2 Sport Average
Delicate start for the grade.

 
Mon 20th May 2024 - Ein Farah
Southern Cliff Academy
6b+ Hard Middleman Sport 19m, 7 Good
Very cruxy around bolts 3-4. Crimps, slopers, polished feet. One useful pocket, however my (fairly thin) fingers barely fit; felt like I would break them if I fell. After bolt 5 it's all jugs.

Southern Cliff Ventilator
5c+ ~6a Modern Times Sport 32m, 10 Classic
Mon 20th May 2024 - Ein Farah
Southern Cliff Balcony
6a+ ~6b Hamor Garem Sport 9 Good
Sandbag like everything in Farah. Easy start, cruxy middle with polished and/or uncomfortable holds. Top 2 meters total slab into a fixed (and weird) anchor.

 
Sat 18th May 2024 - Zanuah
Yoni's Crag
6c Unnamed 4 Sport Very Good
Remember to warm up your fingers... Commit to the left-side jug up top and you'll make it.

 
5 Alexie's Crack Sport 3 Average
Unnecessarily runout. Probably 2.5-3 meters from the last bolt to the anchor and bolts are spaced out.

 
Sat 18th May 2024 - Zanuah
Ivy
6c Little Finger Sport Very Good
Crimpy. Nice sequence at the crux. Uncharacteristically good route for this crag.

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

 
6b+ Alma Sport Good
Dirty and crimpy. Not sure the Adam/Alma split is necessary.

 
5 Unknown (Crack) Sport Good
Tue 14th May 2024 - Tzurit
Bad
6a Darth Vader Sport Very Good
Obvious line up the crack. Fun with some non-trivial parts in the top middle.

 
6b Hard The Wicked Witch of the West Sport Average
One move wonder. Bolting can be confusing..

 
5 Lotso Sport Good
5 Captain Hook Sport
6a Hard Dr. Octopus Sport Good
Nice for the grade.

 
6a+ Bluto Sport Good
Bouldery start on crispy rock.

 
Sat 4th May 2024 - Ein Farah
Southern Cliff Academy
6a Spare The Rod, Spoil The Route Sport 27m, 9 Good
Physical layback into easy face.

 
Sat 4th May 2024 - Ein Farah
Southern Cliff Ventilator
6a ~6a+ Ambizioso Sport 21m, 8 Average
Very crimpy and bad for warmup. Upper face is hard for the grade.

 
5c+ ~6a Modern Times Sport 32m, 10 Very Good
Good line. Gets easier the higher you go.

 
Sat 4th May 2024 - Ein Farah
Southern Cliff Balcony
5c ~6a+ Testa Rossa Sport 20m Average
Biggest sandbag I've ever witnessed. Handholds way off the bolt line, sharp crimps and some tricky foot placements. Not recommended, especially not for warmup.

 
Mon 29th Apr 2024 - Gita
Gita West Shooting Range
6b+ Hang Over Sport 18m Very Good
Cleaned the route. Top rope to the crux then lead.

 
6a Hard Winnie The Pooh Sport 20m Very Good
Beehive to the left near the end. Aid climbed one bolt to skip it.

 
Mon 29th Apr 2024 - Gita
Gita West Preliminaries
6b+ Black Coffee Sport 18m Very Good
Nice and relatively simple, harder section after a good rest. Last few clips are far to the left, confidence required.

 
Sat 27th Apr 2024 - Gita
Gita West Shooting Range
5c Hide & Seek Sport 15m Good
6b+ Hang Over Sport 18m Very Good
Day flash! Almost fell on the crux but kept it together. Killer route.

 
6a Call To Mushroom Sport 18m Very Good
Sat 6th Apr 2024 - Yonim
Dome
6a+ Easy Beauty Sport 17m Classic
Sat 6th Apr 2024 - Yonim
Herman
6c Easy Herman — 2 attempts Sport 15m
Fun start into sketchy move after bolt 3. From bolt 4 I found creative beta with a heel and an overlooked handhold to the side.

 
6a+ Unknown Sport Good
6a+ Tom Sport 8m Good
Sat 30th Mar 2024 - Gita
Gita West Shooting Range
6a Knas Sport 24m Good
5c+ Mickey Mouse Sport 15m Very Good
6b Shrek Sport 20m
Broke some rock at the beginning and near the middle; does not seem high quality (or seldom climbed). Vegetation kinda annoying on this one. Cool moves after the midsection.

 
6a+ F-factor Sport 20m Very Good
5c Hide & Seek Sport 15m Good
One move to a hidden jug. Nice for the grade.

 
Sat 23rd Mar 2024 - Gita
Gita West Isolations
6b+ Peek Sport 15m
Only did the first 3 bolts as it was getting dark. Overhang felt surprisingly simple, then commit to textured crimps. Seems like the last half is much harder (my partner worked it).

 
6a Hard Strawy Hat Sport 18m
Route was damp from rain earlier in the week but I don't think it was harder than usual. Stiff for the grade but lots of fun.

 
6b+ Ta'al Sport 21m
Engaging start up to a short, cruxy traverse on OK holds. Then go for the glorious jug. Afterwards much easier.

 
Sat 23rd Mar 2024 - Gita
Gita West Shooting Range
6b Totoro Sport 22m Classic
Felt harder than my onsight for some reason. A classic for sure.

 
6a Call To Mushroom Sport 18m Very Good
Great warmup and great route as well.

 
Fri 1st Mar 2024 - Yonim
Herman
6a+ Unknown Sport Good
Fun route. Mostly interesting at the first couple bolts.

 
6a+ Tom Sport 8m Good
Delicate at first, gets easier quickly. Fun route.

 
Fri 1st Mar 2024 - Yonim
The Cave
7a+ Love & Cough — 2 attempts Sport 12m, 5 Classic
Got a really solid link from the ground to the upper crux but couldn't make it past. The lower boulder flows really easily now.

 
Sun 25th Feb 2024 - Timna Park
Prisms
6a ~6a+ Shiva Sport 15m Good
Kinda physical. Two layback sections connected by a ledge where you can rest. Foot slipped on the crux up top.

 
Sun 25th Feb 2024 - Timna Park
Park Of Challenges
5c Second wave Sport 26m Very Good
Flowy. Holds are always there, sightly delicate at times.

 
5c King Salomon Sport 25m Very Good
Nice and fun.

 
Sat 24th Feb 2024 - Timna Park
Arena Frictionland Wall
6a Abu Nur Sport 24m Very Good
Fun and long.

 
Sat 24th Feb 2024 - Timna Park
Arena Whale Boulder
5c Variation D Sport 15m Very Good
Climbed in the dark with a headlamp. Nice one.

 
Sat 24th Feb 2024 - Timna Park
Beduin Wall
6b Hard Cinnamon Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Got baited by chalk.. Climb left of the first few bolts and you'll have no issues. Nice crux at the very end.

 
5c Golden Brown Sport 15m, 6 Average
Sat 24th Feb 2024 - Timna Park
The Leaning Boulder
6a Easy Earthquake Sport 25m Very Good
Nice and high. Good stuff.

 
Fri 23rd Feb 2024 - Timna Park
Omnicron
6a ~6a+ Waking up Sport
Whipped one time... Tried to bail right when I couldn't find beta and slipped.

 
Fri 23rd Feb 2024 - Timna Park
Rock art
6b/b+ ~6b+ Desert funk — 2 attempts Sport Very Good
Beautiful V4/5 boulder start. Other parts are varied and challenging as well.

 
Fri 23rd Feb 2024 - Timna Park
Hogwarts
6b Hard Gryffindor Sport 10m, 6
Challenging and delicate face. Good for the grade. No-hands rest in the middle if you need it.

 
6a Hufflepuff Sport 9m, 6 Good
First route on sandstone for me. Challenging for the grade (or maybe I wasn't used to the rock yet).

 
Fri 9th Feb 2024 - Gita
Gita West Shooting Range
6b Totoro Sport 22m Classic
Great route! Most of it involves positioning and movement rather than finding holds.

 
6a+ F-factor Sport 20m Very Good
6b+ Hang Over Sport 18m Very Good
Tricky face up to bolt 4 then a tough crux on decent holds. Took a couple falls before finding feet.

 
6a Call To Mushroom Sport 18m Very Good
Very nice. Varied moves. Good for warmup.

 
6a Knas Sport 24m Good
Sat 3rd Feb 2024 - Nahal Boker
The Arch & The Cave
6c Easy Where's Waldo — 2 attempts Sport Good
Not sure if I found optimal beta but it worked.. mostly about footwork. I used a high right foot, tricky weight shift, painful but good right sidepull into the sloper. Clip from the undercling on the left then find 2 more holds to finish.

 
6b Chunky Monkey Sport
Up the jugs into an interesting midsection then it's over

 
6b+ Easy Neighbourhoods — 2 attempts Sport Good
Start from the undercling and use the arete for sidepulls / heel. Feels borderline 6b/+

 
6a+ Two Fingers from Sidon Sport Good
Climbed along the short crack right of the bolt line. Even found a nice foot jam.

 
5 Desert Climbing Sport Average
Fri 26th Jan 2024 - Nahal Boker
Central
5 Full-On Right Sport Average
6a+ Kiff Keff Sport Good
6a The Good Corner Sport Good
6b+ Schrödinger's Dragonfly Sport Very Good
Really good. Start up the crack, challenging exit to the ledge then another tricky (cool) exit to really sharp rock. Best 6b/+ in the sector.

 
6b+ La fissura Sport Good
Struggled to find beta going up the sharp-edged crack around bolt 3. Route is OK.

 
6b+ Oof Gozal Sport Average
Unpleasantly sharp cheese grater. Ouch!

 
Sat 20th Jan 2024 - Yonim
Herman
6b+ Blade — 2 attempts Sport 15m Good
Took a second to find the best move at the start. Ended up bumping left hand with right in an undercling. All jugs from there...

 
Sat 20th Jan 2024 - Yonim
Central
6a+ Dr. Pita Sport 13m Average
5c+ Take Five Sport 15m Good
Fri 19th Jan 2024 - Gita
Gita West Shooting Range
6a+ F-factor Sport 20m Very Good
Really nice. Opposition / open book / chimney style in the crack almost all the way through.

 
5c+ Mickey Mouse Sport 15m Very Good
Good for the grade and for warmup.

 
5c Kitty's Eyes Sport 15m Very Good
Good for the grade and for warmup.

 
6a Hard Winnie The Pooh Sport 20m Very Good
Tricky start (for the grade) on somewhat-hidden pockets.

 
Fri 19th Jan 2024 - Gita
Gita West Preliminaries
6c Hard Cuckoo Nest Sport 20m Very Good
Very delicate face on bolts 2+3, the rest is much easier. At the crux I took a left crimp, right hand on textures then crossed right foot above left to a spike.

 
Fri 12th Jan 2024 - Nahal Boker
Madrasa
6a On the Face Sport Good
5 Hard The Red Rock Sport Good
5 Slab alaykum Sport Average
6a Hard Marcus' Slab Sport Very Good
Super nice and varied for the grade. I think it's noticeably harder if you need to place the draws yourself.

 
6a Easy Oasis Sport Good
Nice and easy except for the dirty shelf.

 
6a+ Glass Ceiling Sport 2 Good
Fun and short, looks harder than it is. You can reach the first clip and the jug next to it from the edge of the cave

 
Fri 12th Jan 2024 - Nahal Boker
Central
6b+ Fiddler on the Roof Sport Very Good
Fun stuff. Only one difficult clip right after the roof. At my height (170cm) it seems better - though risky - to pass the cruxy roof move before you clip. I had a quickdraw placed by my partner and I barely reached from below.

 
6b Difficult Starts Sport Very Good
Fun and smeary open book-ish route. Pre-clip the first bolts for safety.

 
Sat 6th Jan 2024 - Kebara
Main
5+ 100 meters from home Sport
5 The Old New Land Sport
5+ Passover closure Sport
6a Flatten the curve Sport Very Good
Very nice for the grade.

 
6b+ Hard Another Bolt in the Wall — 3 attempts Sport Very Good
Difficult for the grade. Delicate start. One scary move into a decent hold. The runout between bolts 2-3 is not as bad as it seems. You have a choice of jugs to clip the third. If you climb to the original anchor (shared with the 6a on the left) - note that the last bolt of this route has rusted away. The runout is not too crazy since you top out to an easy section.

 
6c Easy Let it Bee Sport Good
Pre-clipped 2 bolts. Physical start. One reachy move into better holds. Bolted V5 basically.

 
6a+ The second wave Sport Good
Fri 22nd Dec 2023 - Zanuah
Right
6c+ ~7a Grandpa Sport 13m, 5 Good
Only tried the crux. 2-3 really painful holds, then a hand bump I couldn't do to reach a bad hold. I think I need an intermediate. Pretty confident in saying it's heavily sandbagged.

 
Fri 22nd Dec 2023 - Zanuah
Royal Road
5 Route 6 Sport 10m
Quick and easy. The last moves are slightly trickier to clip the anchor.
