Ascents in Bulgaria having Beta

100 meters of run-out slab climbing, how cool is that . 2nd go while hanging the draws. 7a, 7b+, 7b

Very nice one.

Loose rock.

Soft, (hard 7a+/easy 7b?), but very good. Got some well ment beta, but it was identical to my own plan. Besides, as a punter, never trust a stong climber’s beta.

You gotta love slopers Started right below the 1st bolt (center), seemed logical and felt OK. Starting right of the bolts looks more logical and easier but it's a bit far from the 1st bolt. Starting left of the bolts is definitely possible but super illogical to me. The route is easier for tall fellas.

Nice. Very hot and humid today. Slippery!

Super nice line! Had a huuuge fight at the end and had to give 100% to not miss the OS, which is such an awesome feeling in climbing!! Good rests with very interesting sequences and some endurance at the end. Re the grade - last year i did an os of one hot minute and i found it much easier. Im sure i didnt climb it super efficiently but it felt hard, varied, pumpy and so i agree with 7a+

Another phenomenal line in the cave.

Not easy to clip the anchor. Harder for shorties.

really good climbing, up to a no hand kneebar at the chains. 7a in the guidebook.

Easy for the grade. Huge jags

O wow! Bit of a wandering pitch though.

Damn good! A must-do line.

7a/+

With draws. Felt soft all the way to the overhang so i expected some boulder and was very nervous but instead i found like 3 4 knees with almost no hand rest and was quite ok. No crux really.

Soft

Nice and easy first half followed by pumpy, endurance climb on choss. Needs cleaning.

Fun 6a climbing to a four move V4 boulder problem with optional kneebars after every hard move. Really difficult to read, which is maybe why it gets 7a instead of 6c+…got pretty lucky choosing the correct beta. Strongly reminiscent of the Obed… got a little homesick to be honest. Left kneepad useful, right is optional.

clipping the chains was the hardest move.

Nice slaby climbing. Good resting spots. Short technical crux between second and third bolt. Kept to the right. Long dirty runout at the top.

maybe 6c+

Great route! Interesting vertical mini crux and into an endurance finish without much rest in between. Easier when the qds are on.

Athletic

Powerful layback to a technical slab.

Soft

Super fun route

The first part sucks (too chossy) but the second one is worth climbing. It would've been nice if the bolts had followed the logical line.

You'd better love run-outs.

Very nice route with a funky crux. Some loose rock in the first half.

Really nice tufa line that hasn’t been polished into oblivion yet. Kneebars are crucial for pump…

Huge runout just before the last bolt but it looks more intimidating from the ground than it actually is. As soon as you move off the tufas you are on massive jugs and unless you are totally redlining you should be able to make it to the next bolt. Looking down the whip looked totally safe and not as big as from the ground. Go for it!

Amazing climbing. Juggy first half with a great couple of tests, then it turns on for the 2nd half with bomber edged and a few sequencey moves that build towards the top. Easier than O Maria in my opinion. There were only a few bees today and they were very docile. Benchmark 5.11a.

Crap start leads to some of the most fun climbing ever. Honestly the first 3 bolts were the hardest for me trying to read the choss. The tufa is all jugs and good right kneebars which you don’t even need.

Feels only about 6b+/c unless you do the final move to the black tufa above the anchors to clip the higher one…which felt 6c+ on the onsight.

Soft. May be 6b+

Trad Amazing line!

"nice sector warmup. Crux move is easy if ure tall. Nice tufas intro!

Endurance"

Choss.

Very nice one. A grade harder for shorties.

Nice one. Long and sustained 1st pitch followed by short and powerful 2nd pitch.

Lots of loose rock and it's not worth it. Consider helmets.

Trad p3

Nice route. Some pigeon scared the crap out of me at the chains I hated my own flow on the route however

Technical

Boulderly

Hard

Slab, layback, overhanging boulder with rockover and a nice run to the top. Whats not to like

Cruxy

Also pretty cool

Nice moves. A bit run-out.
