Itinerary description

A really fun technical wadi. Rope and some gear needed for one descent / reascent, and shortly thereafter we reached our turnaround- another technical move which could do with protecting. There's a lot of fun technical scrambling to be had on the karst buttresses low in the wadi - all if which can be avoided by taking the path - see our return route. Have fun!!

Waypoint

For us at least the way is barred today. There is a way up, there are a few good holds but awkwardly angled and very slippery. Might go with a bit of gear to protect
