Jordan site visits (stage 4) Wadi Rum


Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom
The Wadi Rum! The name conjures up images of red sandstone towers looming over endless plains of sand. Its a wonderful place and I would love to return to climb (I had to content myself with soloing a couple of pitches and  a bit of scrambling). The colours are simply incredible; its too red to be real! 

We spent a couple of days visiting climbing sites and meeting some of the locals. Sleeping in bedouin tents in the desert after enjoying local hospitality and music is quite unforgettable.
