Total: 

text

The walls surrounding the basins of Farsh Abu Mahshour are imposing and blank at first sight, but offer a few interesting crack systems and challenging climbs.

Access

Heading into Wadi Zawateen just a little further than Amreyas Cafeteria you can find a steep and winding path leading into this basin nestled between blank granite domes.
