Ascents in Gita

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.

One move to a hidden jug. Nice for the grade.

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).

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.

Engaging start up to a short, cruxy traverse on OK holds. Then go for the glorious jug. Afterwards much easier.

Felt harder than my onsight for some reason. A classic for sure.

Great warmup and great route as well.

Great route! Most of it involves positioning and movement rather than finding holds.

Tricky face up to bolt 4 then a tough crux on decent holds. Took a couple falls before finding feet.

Very nice. Varied moves. Good for warmup.

Really nice. Opposition / open book / chimney style in the crack almost all the way through.

Good for the grade and for warmup.

Good for the grade and for warmup.

Tricky start (for the grade) on somewhat-hidden pockets.

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.

Delicate slabby start into good face. Gets easier as you get higher. It's 6a

Climbing on kinda blank face, looking for holds with your hands instead of eyes.. then up the small crack and slightly right. Lots of big moves, and long.

First attempt, getting to know the route. Too out of shape for any meaningful attempts. Crux at the end.

(I think it was this route) Interesting for the grade with some cracks and looking for good holds. Clipped the anchor from a body jam.

Scary move past 2nd bolt. Overall very nice and interesting route.

"Warmup" for strong climbers, otherwise not so easy for the grade. Route shifts right and left of bolt line.

Nice, long route following the crack. Not trivial but good for warmup.

Second bolt low point. Skipped the first Crux cause of an injury

Fun route. Challenging for a 5+

~V4 crux at the beginning into fun scramble to the top. It is not 6a

Challenging and fun. Recommend pre-clipping! No classic jugs, mostly positioning with some "dancing" at the crux.

Interesting, good for warmup. A bit physical.

Felt much harder than 6a. Might have messed up the beta.. a lot of crimps

Fantastic, varied route with unique rock features. Treacherous, slabby crux on the last 2 bolts.

2nd go

One climbing day in Israel and I ticked this mega classic from the past.
