Description

A cliff with 4 clean routes on the southern side of the Rakabat canyon. It is a well known area but I could not find the name of the routes.

Approach

From Wadi Rum village it is a 45min walk. It starts on a relatively easy to follow path to the entrance of the Rakabat canyon with some scrambling. The entrance of the canyon is a flat area( 29.5741100, 35.4341024).From there 10min of further scrambling to the cliff by moving southwards. (29.5720271, 35.4335244)

Descent notes

Ntr

Ethic inherited from Wadi Rum

Sandstone becomes brittle when wet because it absorbs water, this effects its internal structure. Once the rock surface is totally dry, you need to wait another 24 hours before climbing, this gives time for the absorbed water to also evaporate and the rock to regain its strength.

Ce topo numérique présente une sélection de 26 grandes voies (tirées du topo Rock around the World) La quasi-totalité des itinéraires proposés sont en TA. Evidemment, ce style d’escalade « sur coinceurs » force à la modestie mais dans les voies présentées, le rocher se prête bien aux protections, notamment le long des belles lignes de fissures. D’autres voies davantage typées « montagne » privilégient la recherche d’itinéraire à la difficulté pure et sont également intéressantes. Elles sont un prolongement des fameuses voies bédouines. Ces « randonnées du vertige » découvertes par les locaux sont la plus belle et sans doute la seule vraie façon de visiter les lieux. Certaines voies d’escalade décrites ici empruntent des voies bédouines pour redescendre et 2 voies bédouines d’accès au sommet du Jebel Rum sont décrites précisément. Le niveau requis pour la sélection est de 6a/6b sur coinceurs. Tracés précis des voies sur photos « zoomable » Le contenu du topo est visible sur l’appli OmegaRoc.
