Topos & routes in the guideWadi Shellal has 4 small Sectors, the first being the characteristic granite Pillar towering over the Acacia tree, then folling it around the corner it leads into the chocolate bar Sector with bubbly short walls of granite slopers and tricky moves. Following the canyon up a little step you will reach the Great White Sector with a huge slab of white granite on your right, leading more than 60m up. Another few little steps higher inside the Wadi you will find the Cathedral Sector with only a few but interesting established climbs.
