Routes in Middle East for selected grade

An eliminate but a damn good one! Sit start in the bottom left corner with feet on the left. Stand up with compression moves and avoid the large jug up and left. Use the small pockets your fingers will fit into and dyno to the lip! (for me it was a mono with the left and a two finger tips pickets with the right) The scoop out right is also on and helps you get into the pockets. Stem out right, it makes life easier. Avoid stemming out right to make it for sure a v6. The top out is actually harder than it looks and rather committing.

An amazing line with great rock! Sit start on a left facing side pull with high feet on good black rock. Make a hard move up to a sloping side pull, then reach out right to another small side pull. Make a big move up to a small crimp up/right. Then make an awesome pogo/ jump move to a big and very good diagonal edge. Same finish as Shadows and Dust (Hike your left foot up and grab the undercling and stand up to a jug, traverse left to a ledge)

To find it walk to the left end of the Old school wall. Climb up 5 feet to a small ledge (Where The Wire starts) and follow the cliff line to the end. Shadows and Kung-Fu are located right there before you turn the corner. Directly to the right of Shadows and Dust. The starting side pull is at the same level as the sit start of Shadows and Dust.

Difficult opening moves leads to technical slab followed by a tough boulder problem that gives way to easier terrain. Consider stick clipping the second bolt from the ground. You need a 70m rope to get down.

The same bouldery start with Antistrofi Metrisi continues with difficulty to the top keeps your focus!

A tough wall and roof pitch.

The name is written at the start. A straight up line. Sustained climbing all the way.

Go to the south-east side of the main boulder where the overhang is severe. A couple of handholds and a right foot heel hook. Then lay (if you can) left, find a left handhold and continue climbing. Picture.

Official grades differ between 7b+ and 6c+

#kneepad

Very low start on the right most side of the boulder, traverse a bit to the left, and exit just before reaching Worth a Shekel.

Dyno version of Undertaker (between Papageno Effect and Worth a Shekel)

Start under the small roof and go left to the small crack, then up.

Start under the small roof and go left to the small crack, then up and right.

Sit-start with the cube shaped hold and go up via another cube shaped holds. Very sharp.

Sit start with a left side-pull and a good right hold.

Sit-start and go to the left crimp

Sit start from the left side of the mini-cave on good holds and go right to the stand start

Start from the big ledge and a pocket, and go right all the way through. Exit above the small roof.

Sit-start inside the cave on jugs, go right on pockets, and left and up on crimps. Do not use the right-hand of the crack.

Start with the big ledge on the very left side of the roof, and go right through the UFO and Scorpion King ledge, to connect to Pim Pam Pom.

Start on jugs. Mantle using the obvious slopey bulge, and high feet.

Start just to the right of the huge rectangular depression, and go up. Use the wall on the right to top out.

On the right side of the sector. Start with underclings and jump with the left to the pocket jug. Continue up and a bit to the right.

delicate traverse

Delicate slab into an intresting crux and than superb climbing on the arc! There is a good rest in the middle of the route you can go up rest and get back on track!

Link-up: Use bolts 1-3 of Jeremiah, bolt 4 from Cairo Slammer, then traverse further right an continue on Crossing Red Lines to the station.

Variety of moves on slippery holds. Crux comes after the stalactite. Alternative finish to the station of the route on the left - no addtional bolts, harder.

Classic of the wall

Classic of the wall

Enter the smaller cave and turn around facing the outside. The route starts on your right and traverses the roof to left, ending at the centre of the cave. Cruxy start, sustained at the beginning but eases towards the end. Crag classic.

On the outer lip of the right side of the smaller cave. A reasonably steep and slightly overhang start. Continues on across the outer face of the cave. Technical moves near the top with very small crimps and foot holds.

The left variation of Iran Merinus, named in the honour of setters' good friend Faramarz who's apparently a bit of a handful 60 something year old dude. Smear away to a powerful bouldery move to the overhang.

Two different starts.

1. 10 FB - shared with Baharane

2. 15 FB

3. 12 FB

Start with a small overhang and continues on the edge of the rock

1st bolt missing.

1st bolt missing.

only heads

sharp and crimpy , with a little run out at the top

Crux is getting from 3rd bolt inside the cave to up outside the cave on the long runout to connect with route 5.

Clipping last bolt (4th) on the low traverse section is debatable for safety reasons, lot of slack and a stressful clip close to the ground.
