MountainZone.com offers an article about an unusual climbing destination: the Middle East. More specifically, Wadi Rum in Jordan.
Offering up everything from sick bouldering to crazy endurance aid climbs Wadi Rum sucked me in, and from there you can guess how my story has gone. Since my first trip to Wadi Rum I have gone back a number of times to continue exploring and learning about the people who call Wadi Rum their home. With seemingly endless possibilities for future adventurers to trail blaze their own vertical paths, Wadi Rum remains a climbing oasis in the Middle East.
