The Easy Keshet

5a

IV+ at top of pitch. Then follow weak ??? for 3 pitches up to top. II and III. Lot of different easy choices. After the first diedre it is possible to traverse left to join the "HaKeshet" route. English Topo by Dave Lucas: After the first pitch it is possible to move left to hakeshet 1) HS 4b 40m Climb the right facing corner on the right of the tower and the fun, juggy chimney on the left above (you can bypass this in the right hand side). Belay on top of tower and walk across to the main wall. 2) HS 4b 30m Climb the cracked groove just left of a prominent, brown dyke. At the top, move right and climb the dyke and flake, then up right past a boulder to a good ledge. 3) HS 4b 50m Take the right-hand cracked groove with a few tricky moves, then another cracked groove above. Take the continuation scoop up the slab above and try and find the best belay you can. 4) VD 60m Up scoops and slab to the top.
