Wow....This was so inspiring to watch....I am not a climber....But with the footage in this video I can see why it has some people passionately pursuing peaks. This was very well shot and very interesting to watch. Stay safe out there on the edge. God Keep You All In Good Health.....Thanks For Sharing The Beauty
The riders are small, electric, remote controlled motors with a little riding crop attached (stick like whip). The trucks have the operators of those electric motors in them. That's what I gathered in our brief pitstop for a couple of laps. It was very energetic.
If you come back you should probably look at bolting with glue-ins rather than expansion bolts. We have a lot of soft sandstone in Australia and glue-in ring (or U) bolts are pretty much universal in those crags. You do occasionally see expansion bolts on older routes in better rock, but they're relatively rare and re-bolters will usually replace them with glue-ins.
I agree. I wish we had taken glue ins but we decided to take the chance on the hardware we already had given our ground-up dreams and desires. I recently found a guy on IG who makes his own glue-ins in Jordan. They were tested by the HowNot2 folks. So there is a good source for hardware in Jordan now, as far as I know.
I think there are likely more trad lines in Wadi Rum. There aren't many cracks and a lot of routes rely on threads. In some cases those are drilled threads. There is probably more space for face climbing than anything else.
With all the respect, the hard work, the time & money you put into this trip the truth need to be told which is - You didnt do a good research befor you came, you thought its gonna be a walk in the park because you saw someone else on reel rock putting a good line. You came unprepared, without the right gear and with wrong assumptions, put a bolted route/s in an area that doesn't see alot of traffic (alltough you said it is...) which I don't know how many people will climb in the future (so is it wroth it ?). Alltought in one of your comments above you wrote that Wadi Rum is mostly good for face climbing, thats also because you haven't climb there - there are still new lines (corners and chimneys) waiting to be FA's but need more preperation and more longer/complicated approach. There are still french/Corsican/ spanish guides putting new lines mostly relying on gear and natural lines and if not, spending months to find the best line that people will also climb in the future... Goodluck in your next FA's...
Lfgggg such a great film! Gonna get me some those sandstone gobstoppers stat upon desert return.

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@lane.mathis ha !! the film and the camel race especially reminded me of tinariwen th-cam.com/video/H1YIgwPsX5Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pqhhOK-C0OtbR1IF
Rohn, I agree with you. The music is so perfect!

Great job fellas! 🎉
Thank you 🙌
Awesome video!
So sick, Lane!!

Go on Brasil: Serra do Cipó, Chapada Diamantina, Rio de Janeiro.
Some great Trad lines now never to be?
I think there are likely more trad lines in Wadi Rum.

I could debate but I won't because you have made up your mind about who we are, which is fine.
I do appreciate the beta. Thanks for the well wishes.
