Routes in Jordan for selected grade

First bolt missing, overhang endurance test. Good rest at the Owl house though.

Slight overhang all the way, use the aret as well.

Powerful route up the middle of the cave.

Overhang start in the cave.

Small overhang start easy to get lost in the middle, a bit run out, finish left in the crack or direct.

Trad up the crack.

Missing bolts.

loose rock at the start.

missing 1st bolt and anchor

up the face. Can be climbed on left or right bolts.

Chossy loose be careful ware helmet

High 1st bolt. Bridge up the to the boulder problem crux to gain the break. Fixed anchor may 2019.

Just a touch longer than 35 meters. A 70 meter rope will just make it with the rope stretch. A 60m will not come close! Up the face in and into the corner.

adventure style, climb the corner and the aret, (possible to walk off if desired, can belay from the big boulder on top using the rope or a very big sling)

Vertical.

#35

finish on the shoulder of Frustration Dome, north of Sheikh Hamdan’s Siq

One mega pitch requiring two ropes. Loose rock, expansion bolts in sandstone, scary. The location is approximate, look for bolts.

Spaced bolting ...

Direct line up the water-polished cracks, begin left of "Vanishing Pillar". Descent with 5 rappels.

The first three pitches of (SE Diedre: Warriors of the Wasteland) the above route

A splendid climb in its own right.

Second route from the right. Comfortable bolts of good quality. The anchor consists of two bolts without a chain.

Fully bolted single pitch. (Sport 1&2 same Anchor) Cat Canyon (29.567250, 35.490739).

Difficult and long abseil!

Same start as #2 but you go right

Very enjoyable vertical climbing on solid rock following two cracks separated by a short traverse. Easy to protect, but will require micro protection in a couple of spots (otherwise runout). Extend the points on the traverse to decrease rope drag. Top anchor consists of 3 independent cords attached to 3 solid rock columns and come together with a maillon (quick-link). Be aware of the rope when lowering, as it may get stuck in the upper crack. It's recommended to rappel off the route in order to decrease wear on your rope.

An impressive climb with a big feeling. Trad climb with some bolts.

Approach

On the north east corner of Jebel Al Hasani, east from hole to hole.

1. 6a, 45m. Sustained. A line of 3 bolts at the base leading to a shallow corner, finger cracks to a good ledge. Bolted anchor with chain.

2. 5b, 50m. Walk left a few meters to a slab with a bolt. Proceed up broken ledges passing a few more bolts. Ignore giant thread on the right, carry on for another 10m to another tatty thread under big overhang.

3. 5c, 45m. Pull over the lip onto slab with hollow sounding holds with spaced bolts. Bolted chain anchor on the arete. Note this is the descent anchor that takes you down the main east face.

4. 5c+, 30m, 7 bolts. Up the arete to bolted anchor.

5. 5c, 50m, to the right 6 bolts up the crack.

Descent

Rappel back to top of P3 via 2 short repels, then down the main face in 3 longer rappels.
