did it with one of the heaviest snowfalls i have ever seen. tension climbing. last boulder for my new years trip.

the knee didn't stay, so i had to find a different way. kinda weird start, but good finish

first boulder for 2016, and i couldn't be more happy about it! this 5 star line was probably the hardest i have ever fought on a climb. after falling twice in the 7b moves before the topout i was totally broken. bleeding from 4 fingers i thought my day was over. frustrated i thought i might give it just few more goes. lucky i did! with a big fight totally surprised i found myself on the top! such a powerful and beautiful boulder!!

so nice! probably on of the most obvious lines out there! beautiful climbing all the way on tensiony moves. long and pumpy to a hard exposed topout, which in my opinion makes it epic!

cool link up between Blochx addiction to Los cursos

cool line, two goes last trip first go this trip. nice and pumpy. would be cool to top it out.

amazing climb, big moves and keeps going all the way.

fell at the last move like 20 times.a good line with some amazing movements! a bit too close to the ground but still so cool!.

well, amm it was definitely hard for me. this heel took me back to school...

felt hard! good of the plain tick after a looong night traveling with no sleep.

finally linked it from the start!! the sit project to "kaza". really happy i found this line, some of the coolest moves i have done on rock.

aka "superman". nice roof with some long reaches.the view and the scenery after the top out is beautiful!

the most iconic climb of the hole area! this boulder was considered v11 back in the day. a very nice obvious line going throe the roof.

cool classic boulder. looks way harder then it is

the king line of the area! here is a video we made climbing in the area https://vimeo.com/115796233

a very cool line with some sick moves. glade i climbed it.

for years i thought that kisra is a bad climbing area and there is nothing to do there. one day i have decided to go and see what its all about. i was SO suprized! the area is not big but the boulders are really high quality and there are a lot of hard projects! this climb was open by gil averbuch years back and was maybe the hardest boulder in Israel at the time. 7C/+ feels good for the climb but i don't know, we will see!

the stand start dyno to the proj. stats on LH underclean and RH bad sloppy pinch. this dyno is one of the things you do in the gym! the sit is next!

wow a 5 star line!! this one goes to my top all time favorites!

3rd go for the sit! did the stand last march and after failing on the project thought it would be cool to finish it! felt hard for sure. for sure on of the best climbs ever

felt hard! did it in a few tries when the rain started. crazy heel beta and a cool last move!

yesss! wanted to flash this so bad! almost blew it on the last move/ just before the rain came, what a day!

felt good!! great gym moves on nice holds. to bad its not toping out. everything else was so wet! so happy i found this boulder

2nd go of the day. 2 goes last spring. Perfect minimalistic line with just the holds you need to be able to climb it!

Just after ill trill. What a good climb. Did it on my second go of the day. Trying it briefly a yerar or two ago.

what a boulder!!! for sure goes to my all time best list. did it in one short session in quite warm conditions.

not the best line for sure but a good trainer if you did all the other climbs on the block. did it with wet holds at the end between the rain showers. cool day!

One small session in the spring where I was not close at all, and just 30 minutes this year! One of my favorite hard climbs. Shoes do matter one this problem. Superb!

8B+/C ohhhh yess!!!moments like this are a big part of the reason why i climb. i tried it for a few days back in the summer and came back today praying for it to be dry. and it was! i set down to try it and boom! couldn't do almost any move, after a some more tries, just before i was ready to give up, it happened. after a biggg fight and almost falling on every move i found my self on the top. this problem is my hardest to date for sure and i am totally not sure about the grade of this one. but this not why we climb. we climb for those special moments. so so happy right now!

fell from the last hard move at the flash. 3 goes in total.

so hard for me, for some reason harder then sofa surfer. so happy so finish off this nemesis.one day foxy lady will go as well ;)

first problem this trip 7c+/8a

One of the funnest climbs. Not a good line at fist sight, but such a cool two hooks moves and swing

Trying to get tired before the rest day. Did it first try after I got the first move

2nd go this trip! two years ago it felt so desperate. such a cool first day in the woods, psyched for the projects!

Love that climb!! Feels like a comp boulder. For sure not the best line, but the movement is amazing

I can't even count how many times I fell from this big move at the end. Finally done!! For sore a bit of a morpho climb so can be easier for taller people..

Epic climb!! Mest up the flesh go and did it a few tries later. Might be a 8A+, especially if you are tall.

Yess!! Did riverbad two years ago and spend two small sessions on theslow start this year. Was a fight for sure. Exited for the rest of the projects

cool, comps style

great line, shouldery moves, cool holds

fell a lot at the top! good line with cool physical comps style.

climb better then looks, pumpy!

4 goes, sharp!!!!

3 goes, fell from the last move on the flash. could be a 7c+ as well. cool last day in Colorado!

great fay up n the park before the vail world cup. struggled a bit with the altitude, hopefully i will adapt. amazing team ascent!!

2 tries after the straight up one

feels so good to flash it! after trying jade i thought i should take a break and try this line, didn't disappoint! defiantly one of my favorite boulders in the park so far. the endless hike was worth it!

Didn't expect this one to go so quick. Did it on my 2nd try from the start after doing veritas left few days earlier. So harpy! Exited for few more days at the park before going back home!

what a day! did it in a bout 20 minutes after flashing wild cat! also got close on jade and did two more 7c+'s. my 50th 8a or harder! the hike through the snow was eventually worth it!

went for a short session together with gabrie and marco just befor the European championship finals. seemed like the only dry piece of rock in zillertal. went down straight after i did the first move. fun times!

few tries, deferentially need to go back for jade!

morpho!! but just amazing, climbs like a gym problem for me

what an amazing climb! just awesome!

hared story's about how good this problem is for long time. personally i have climbed way better problems, amazing one for sure though!

few tries, amazing roof climbing. cool to see such holds in such a steep overhang.

amazing day climbing three 8a's and an 8a+

nice, powerful, good movement. i liked it a lot and did it pretty fast

i loved the pinch and hated the crack, not the best climb but still nice.

felt hard for me! used the hell beta but the actual hard move for me was to get the lip for some reason. used the wrong way for the first move for a while then changed it to the normal way and it clicked! super cool boulder!

even better then the blochx addiction!

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!wanted to try this problem for so long, and now I finally had the chance! after seeing Michael crush it my motivation was even higher! its so hard to find a problem like this any where in the world, so psyched!

one move wonder

such an amazing move!!! one of the best!!

so many ways to do this thing

fall on the topout on the flash!

that one is amazing! two ninja moves in a row!

sums up my 8 climbing days in albarracin. just an amazing line but still hard with 25 degrees outaide. so happy with this one

a bit to hot but can be the best problem i have ever climbed, just amazing rock!! all this place is just wow!

nice problem, much harder then the stand start. did it just after the rain stopped, good vibes!!!!

so sharp! great way to spend a day of the army so good to be on the rock again! https://vimeo.com/83429790

did it just after i finished my basic training in the israeli army. for me it was 4 weeks with almost no climbing. now i cen get back in shape!!

wow! the best climbing day i had here! first the sit to disel power and then this! crazy!

so happy!!!! fall once in the last rail part. dream come true, glad to be the first israeli to climb this grade. still have more then 20 days left in the woods! so many things to do here!!!!

soft, adds few more moves logical for me

one of the best problems ever!!!

FA? the sit proj to diesel power, three hard compression moves in to the stand problem. harder then all the 8a+'s in the forest. fit my style perfectly. the best climbing day i had here

wow! 10 min, the best problem of the grade i climed, wanted to flash it but culdnt wait eny longer for good conditions. so happy to it so fast, filling strong for the real hard projects.

did it in somthing like 20 min, one of the best problems i climed here.

this jump is one of the best moves i have ever done on rock!!!!!!!

so close to flash.....

the best line on the planet!!!!!!
