Ascents in Jordan having Beta

350m

Climbed the first 5 pitches (100m) of 'Coup Par Coup' Instead of the final section of the approach. followed by 'The Pillar of Wisdom'

Use directionals half-day for top roping

Night Climb

Multiple areas of poor rock quality with danger of large size boulders falling on belayer

Shade covered the first four pitches of the route by 12:11 PM

Only 1st pitch.

Between 3rd and 4th more like 12+ moves.. Or maybe not if you're very tall. The plates in the middle won't break of.. Hopefully?

Unintentionally climbed it. It is the last climb on the grey wall. For the 5B, start climbing on the red wall. And yes, the rock is quite sharp.

Got lost in the middle

Wouldn’t say it’s a 5A at all, but a nice climb nonetheless. The start is a little bit unbalancy.

I'm confused and not sure the Topo is accurate, I see 4 routes at this spot, this one is the third starting from the right. The fourth one is the one with no bolts. Maybe someone will come to this crag and check the routes at some point.

getting better at this

Magnificent majestic wall. Sun covered until noon.

Anchors have chained bolts.

Rappelling down: - Try not to tie knots at the ends of the rope as they are likely to get stuck. - When rappelling to first pitch anchor, make sure to throw the rope as far from the crack as possible, descend to the first big boulder next to the crack, ask others to rappel to the first anchor, and then down climb to first anchor. Otherwise, your rope will end up in the grave of ropes already stuck in the crack.

Nice easy (mostly) climb that requires different climbing techniques. Sometimes runout.

You could rappel the main route on ropes that have been set up on static boulders.

Maybe they changed the anchor location but this is definitely no longer any harder than 6b (unless I'm totally confused on the route )

A fun climb. It’s mostly a 5B but there’s a part that’s a little bit harder (traverse). I suggest rappelling down.

The crux problem needs quite power to be done

This route and 6c next to it are missing the anchor. Also if you follow the bolts its quite blank in the middle and much harder than 6a+. Had to follow up the left crack with many bushes and feels off route based on bolting.

Such a great climb needing different techniques. The bolts are a bit far away since it's 11 bolts over ~35m.

My 70m uncut rope had at least 4 meters remaining when the first leader descended (with some quickdraws taken out).

Beware of rope getting stuck in the crack when taking down the rope.

A very easy ascent, would be perfect for teaching multi-pitch climbing. Climb had no sun, despite the name, after 3pm.

The first anchor was connected with a cord, the second was not. Both anchors have vertical bolts.

Fantastic fun route. Heavily bolted, and all anchors have two connected bolts. Highly consistent in difficulty along the pitches. The crux move is sweet, but honestly felt that 3rd pitch was technically harder than 2nd other than for the crux, due to a few reaching finger pullups with wall smears. As you're going up, the wall features continue on changing.

Sun covered the wall by 10:38AM.

One take at crux area

Top Out

Only the 1st pitch

Rope jammed on rappel, was forced to cut it /-:

route is actually placed some 5 meters to the right (facing the wall), where route #10 is currently marked in the legend. There is a sling anchor at 25m and another at 33m.

Beautiful line! More face than crack climbing.

Grade was apparently actually 5C - felt like a 5C rather than 5 A

Quite a hard climb for 6a

pitch 1 only.

lead all pitches. on pitch 1 there is a an offwidth crack which needs a BD no.6 to protect. not a 2 move aither may be a 5c. some stations now have glue in anchors.

Done it in 3 pitches. lead 1 and 3.

I had a shoulder injury while climbing

I had an injury (twisted ankle) in first Quickdraw
