Summary
Super fun juggy overhangs with a great view, worth the drive, and with zero approach time.
Description
Caves that are pretty much shady all the day. A good selection of routes in 5s and 6s. Plenty to do and good for practicing your overhang technique. Treverty rock, a type of limestone formed from spring water.
Approach
Turn off: (32.619048, 35.655695)
Parking: (

Crag: (

The new Irbid ring road has made getting there much quicker. When you reach the turn off at the historic sight turn left and go down to a very rough road, it is possible for a normal car to get fairly close to the crag and park in the flat spot. If you walk from the tarmac road it takes less than 10 mins. 4x4s can drive to the base.
Ethic inherited from Jordan

History
It used to be a waterfall, and there are some ruins and well on top of the hill.
