βeta: A fab excursion. We summited and bivvied on Subeweit the day before all of which added to the majesty of being out in the desert. The route itself is a bit of a Wadi Rum gem, not quite semi-alpine , but approaching such a marker. Fortunately the difficulties largely ease the higher you ascend, but not without the usual sandstone trickiness along the way. A bit surprised to see the level of choss on the mid way ledge , and some care is needed in the upper sections ( a foothold exploded under me), but these are the only negatives. The only other issue of concern is the choice of descent. We opted for the well cairned Bedu route, but this is strictly for the brave | ||
