Wadi Rum gets another MP

Moty Alkalay has together with Avi Feinstein, after four years of projecting, done the FA of the 400-meter Never Never Land (8a+) in Wadi Rum. Bedouin, a desert town in Jordan, has some 200 sandstone multi-pitch routes. Most climbs are trad or scary bolted routes. The potential is endless, though there are just a few one-pitch bolted climbs. "It took us two trips of one week each just to put in all the glue in bolts and than two more trips of one week each to climb it, including adding nine more bolts. Now the route is completely bolted and safe. We mostly every trip stay in the desert and bring water and food with us. It's also fun to stay by yourself in the desert and climb." More info
