Descent: rappel down the route.. or maybe you can rappel down through the Yalla Shabab, but it's not obvious where is the last anchor.
Rappel 3-5: Rappel the P4-P2. We also rappelled the last easy pitch. FA: C..Remy & Y. Remy, 1986 | 250m, 7 | Wadi Rum | ||

5 | ★★ Essence of rum
A tough first pitch and an exposed hard to protect but fairly easy 2nd pitch. Approach: From the east entrance to Rakabat canyon just after the under/over boulder scramble up the ramp to the first pitch. About 20-40 mins from rakabat east entrance. Gear: A full rack. Time: Roughly 4 hours up and down.
Decent. Using the tat on the huge blocks head down the other face into the gully. Walk down the gully a bit and find the abseil about midway in it back to the start. | 3 | Wadi Rum | ||

Timing: Allow for a long day, more if you get lost, which you probably might, more if you want to take it easy and have a break or two. If you are a super-duper mountain guide then perhaps the guide book time of 3-4 hours is achievable. Sun / Temperature: In August it was bearable with shady belays, but starting in the dark could help. Gear: Expect rope drag, Cams up to Camalot 3. Some belay stations are bolted. The abseil from the plateau (Hammads ridge) back down to the traverse is about 50m. Route
Descent. Reverse route about 6 repels to the base, back up through the siq and back up the chimney to hammads ridge. Two options exist from here. Descent alt. Alternative abseil descent, down jebel rum east face and route mumkin. Somewhat complicated and easy to make mistakes. - 50m From the eye rap diagonally back to below the start of the final pitch. - 25m, hidden. - 50m, heading more east to big ledge at the side of the big black slab - 50m, down big black slab - 50m, - 15m, traversing climbers right, don't go down the gully. - Easy walk through sand to Mumkin abseils.

5 | Tranquille Emile
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.

5 | ★★ The Little Beauty
Not to be confused with "The Beauty" Approach: At the west end of Kharazeh canyon. 2 hours from rakabat east, 1.5 if you know where your going. (1 hour from the village?) From the top of Goats gully head north along a plateau. Head up the scree slope. When you reach the bottom of the face you will see an the bolted climb "the glory", scramble/climb up and round left to reach the easy but exposed ramps of the first pitch. P1: f3, ramps, un-protectable (or pointless to protect). Head up and right to the bottom of P2 and where the climb splits into scarlet o hara. P2: f5, a tricky move to get over the bulge then a walk to the base of P3 P3: f4, (30-40m) a beautiful sustained low angle corner crack which gets wider at the top. Two #3's can protect the top 1/3 of the crack. Finishing at a large thread. Descent: Possible to 60m repel to the base of P2. The guide book suggest a 40m repel and walk off to another area (un-checked). Down climb P1. | 100m, 3 | Wadi Rum | ||
5 | ★★ King Faisal
Location: Sig Bajeah or Baaga or Ba Ja is a dark slot canyon well known to locals in Little Petra. Without assistance, it may be difficult to locate this area. The rock is consistently the best quality I ever experienced in Jordan. Three pitches. A really enjoyable route on excellent black sandstone which follows hand cracks interspersed with overhanging features sporting huge patina holds providing a fun excursion. Bolt belays. Descent Walk to the W (towards the valley) on a huge ledge then abseil to the ground. | 75m, 3 | Petra + | ||
