| Start of difficult and long
scramble to Jebel Rum mountain |
|
|
|
|
| We should have climbed by
this canyon, but instead, went too quicky to the wall to the right side |
|
|
|
|
|
This scramble is at places grade III
climbing, all exposed and not secured by rope. |
After loosing a few hours trying to go by
misleading cairns, we abseiled down and tried different route |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still, it was for me as non climber very
long and exposed route, we did not have time to finish it within one
day so returned, with some abseiling as well. |

| Walk to Barrah canyon, this
area is beautiful for walking, although most people go here by jeeps. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cames going somewhere by themselves,
without any men |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Campsite at Rum village,
quite place to sleep, with shops just 100m away. |
Burdah massive, about 20 km
from Rum village, visited by many jeep groups although almost noone
goes up the magnificient rock bridge. |
|
|
|
| Rock bridge of Burdah,
reachable by 2hr easy scramble, with slightly difficult route finding -
as usual in Rum |
