2-stars, Start opposite a small fenced area at the foot of Jebel without a cause in the gully between Jebel Dahab. The line takes great line up Jebel Dahab’s SE face. i) 30m. 5a. Move into the corner and climb to an offwidth on a slab and then follow a small crack to a ledge. Climb the hand cracks up for a few meters before moving right into the groove. Traverse (hand) right into corner and onto a ledge. ii) 30m. 5c. Climb up a green crack left of the offwidth. Gain a small ledge and move right into the corner. Climb up below a small bulge below the twin cracks and then climb to the capping overhung boulder. Climb over this with force and let the brutality of the climb skin your hands. Look out for friable rock. iii) 30m. 5a.From the top of the boulder climb into the groove chimney above. This levels out to another short chimney. Climb past loose blocks into the labyrinth of “crack of Thunder”. Climb a short chimney then take the left hand branch to the top
