An underrated gem, a must do mountain traverse full of character and diverse terrain. The best 5- in rum packaged into an achievable 1 day objective full of big mountain adventure. Time: Going easy, 5 hours to the summit, 1.5 hours descent, 1.5 hour walk back to the cove. Shade all day can be done in summer. The TH guide book 1 paragraph description and dotted line topo is remarkably useful. The climb starts at the cove on the west side of north barrah. Take the gully which goes up to the left with some squeeze sections to the hanging valley. Stay on the left of the hanging valley and go almost all the way to the end. Take the ramp back up the left side to reach a water worn groove with a jammed toaster sized block.
Descent Follow the skinny siq, through the white powder sands and arching walls to a number of entertaining technical squeeze sections (f4). After these it opens up into a plateau. The TH guide book mentions 2 abseils however we didn't find these (assume these are in the main siq). From the plateau leaving the main siq and trending to the left we followed cairns and scrambled down the rest of the way to sands on the east side. FA: G Hornby & S Sammut, 1992 | 200m, 6 | |||

A diagonal corner crack. Protection not very forthcoming or useful, soft rock on the left side. No fixed stations. 60m double ropes useful.
There is some unusual detritus on the top which suggests there might be an easier way up and down. FA: Tony Howard, Di Taylor & W Naiz, 1987 | 250m, 6 | |||

Start in the same spot as Hanging Gardens of Zagorchev, about 100 feet down and left of "Runner Up". Climb up and left to gain the left-hand of two nice looking varnished corners. Stem up this corner to easier ground and an anchor (27m). Photo. FA: Todd Swain, Donette Swain & Marin Zagorchev, Mar 2019 | 26m | |||
5a | Hanging Gardens of Zagorchev
To the left of the sport routes is a huge, right-facing corner that forms the left margin of the face (Runner Up). Down and left about 100 feet from this huge corner are two, short, nice looking varnished corners. This route climbs the right-hand corner. Climb the right corner, which has a prominent wide crack on the right side. This corner had partially been climbed previously by local Bedouin guide Omar, who lowered off a cam because there was no anchor. The FRA party continued to the top of the corner and installed an anchor. Rappel with one rope from a fixed anchor (drilled baby angle and thread).

West face of 1260 dome / Jebel Astar, further south down the valley than Desert rats in the shade. The "Obvious" crack line that climbs up through a cave at the top. 3 Pitches to get through the cave. From here you can walk off down the south ridge. Pleasantly soft rock everywhere. Alternatively the TH guide book says the rest is a scramble to the summit descending via relax max? Unverified if this is the actual route in the TH guide book but it seems fairly close.
