Only 1st pitch

pitch 1 only.

Good short Trad-climbing with interesting moves and ample protection.

Wonderful climbing for the first three pitches. Some of the best climbing in Wadi Rum. The first pitch is pure layback climbing up a positive crack with regularly protection stances. The crux is the finishing 5m which can be pumpy and committing to some. The second pitch gives you everything you want from climbing. with a hang crack on the right and an off width on the left. This pitch requires bridging, stemming, hand jams, arm bars, heel-toe camming and many other wonderful climbing moves. This is a climb you want to do over and over again. Pitch three is a slightly easier version of pitch one with a lot more variety.

Nice introduction to climbing in Wadi Rum. The alternative exit via the 4th pitch is really nice.

Trad

P1: 5sh, crack P2: 5- Nice mix of chimney like and P3: 4 Slight overhang moves p4: 3 short crack up to huge ledge p5: traverse left and climb up 3+/4 to the sub-summit
