This climbs the North ridge of Ragab. Approach under the west face of Ragab over the col to the foot of the ridge. i) Avoid shield on R by an awkward high step. Then trend easily L up slabs to belay below the first gendarme (The lion, especially from above!) 40m ii) Climb obvious wide crack on R and much easier then it looks. Belay at top. 10m iii) Then Leftwards round 2nd gendarme to find twin cracks (3 – 4m High). Take R one to crest of ridge and follow/hand traverse this leftwards. 50+m this pitch needs care with rope drag
