Due to recent events Wadi Rum may not be a suitable destination this year – but we will go somewhere adventurous – at the moment it’s wait and see……

An adventure awaits on the sandstone monoliths of the Wadi rum desert. The grading has been done in alpine grades and climbing here should not underestimated, a rescue is very unlikely and the remoteness adds to the overall seriousness of the climbing. However for those with good mountaineering nous some of the world’s best rock climbing awaits. Robert Durann has a done a wonderful article on UKC see link below for more information. There is a good range of climbing from HVS-E3 and a good selection of relatively easy from a technical point of view but very committing and adventurous Bedouin hunting routes. Get in touch if interested. We will be flying out from Luton to Amman and traveling down to Wadi rum via Petra. There are many climbing and walking opportunities straight out of the accommodation in the village of Rum.
