text

This is the highest peak directly surrounding St. Catherine village, though it does not see much traffic. Long routes up to 650+m make for an all-day adventure.

Access

For the NW face, from Sayeds Garden in Ein Tufaha head further up through the valley flow until you can approach your route perpendicular from the valley floor. For the East face, the Chupchik and Little Rabba head into Wadi Arbain and then up straight to your route base.
