Routes in Middle East

One cool adventure, interesting climbing through the tufa system, sustained in places.

Steep jug hauling, super fun!

Juggy tufa climbing with a tough finish. Be careful with the big tufa!

Topo.

Video of the route.

Interesting all the way. Never too hard if you find the right sequences.

Consistant challenge from start to finish, slight over hang with a nice flow.

Slab, crimps to tufas, yum... Permanent draws

Pockety Juggy tufa climbing, Must do! Shares the top section with 'Ağustos Böceği'.

Easy start into a steep corner and a pumpy finish.

Tufas and pockets, the best combination!

Thin technical moves. Getting quite polished. Some bolts feel a little spaced.

Beautiful sustained technical face climbing. Must do!

Great route on the far right of the sector. Ironic name as it is very pumpy for the grade (although cheeky rests can be made by scuttling right onto the arete proper). Undergraded?

Juggy steep heaven.

This route just keeps going, get ready to do some crimping and monoing!

Nice 3D climbing up the tufa chimney, rare for the grade. Someone appears to have mistakenly painted "Gladutschki" at the base of this route.

Very juggy, but good power endurance required. The holds are pretty far away from each other.

Another great technical climb, high feet, one or the other small crimp, great moves.

Steep but very juggy. Feels very (!) soft for the grade. Has a separate anchor in the roof, right next to 'Poseidon'.

Varied and fun all the way. Runout bolting in the upper half.

Another classic at the entrance of the cave. An awesome combination of technical climbing with a low crux leads to some great, sometimes reachy moves on often good holds before a heart-breaking finish to the black hole...

Best if your belayer climbs up to the belay ledge and belay from there. Great grade here to experience tufas and pinches.

8a.nu consensus 5c/6a.

The classic line at the bottom of the cave. Follows the line left of the obvious tufa. A must do.

Easier first half, then up into the steep chimney.

An excellent route that takes the steepest ground in this sector. Gets gradually harder and harder until the overhanging flake is gained. A couple of strong pulls over this then romp to the top. Not easy to clean due to it sharing the lower off with Mageia.

Video of the route.

The only route in Trebenna which gets exposed to sun in the afternoon. At least in summer.

Climb the mega stalactite!

Don't get lost on the extension, go right after the first pitch and continue right to the top. Adventure climbing!

Great and varied climbing. At 8a.nu also 6a+/b suggestions.

Excellent route on positive holds with a crux high up.

Boldery start to a stright forward climb.

Short but steep with big moves on good but polished holds.

Fun introduction to the climb next door. Cool crux.

Vertical.

Technical start. Then steep climbing on good but spaced holds.

Up the column right of 'Revolverheld'. Good footwork required. Getting easier as you go.

The line starting with the obvious pockets.

Goes up the vertical section inside the cave.

Get ready to get your crimp and mantle on... Smack in the face.

Shares anchors with 'Şirdan Dolması'.

An outstanding route, varied and takes the one obvious natural line on this wall. The first half is straightforward, but with nice moves. The technical crux is the slightly overhanging and blank wall above, split by the narrowest of cracks. This is followed by powerful moves over an overhang, followed by thankfully easier climbing to the top. Was 6c+, but is now given 7a after the loss of a key jug at the end of the crux.

Spaced bolts, slight roof to a series of cool crimping love.

Another excellent route and the easiest of the ones on this wall. The crux is between the third and fourth bolts and is quite technical.

One of the more popular warm ups for the strong guns, climbing on good holds and Tufas.

Pumpy climbing on big holds. Getting very polished. #bolt_type_glue_in

Good footwork required in the technical upper half.

Very nice, just want the top to keep going and it does. Single-bolt anchor.

Just as good as its right neighbor, just a tiny inch harder.

Upgraded to 6c in 2022. There is still “6a+” mark on the wall though

Vertical.
