“Breaking Bad”, Wadi Bani Awf (Oman)

Martin Sieberer & Simon Messner am 05.02.2020 This route is located on the so called “Northerly Entrance Face” of Wadi Bani Awf. The 1. pitch was first tried by Heidi Wettstein and Jakob Oberhauser in 2007 but “the extraordinarily loose pitch” let the party quit and “abseil down off two pegs”. In 2020 we used […]

“Fortune Teller”, Jebel Kawr (Oman)

“Fortune Teller”, Jebel Kawr (Oman)

Martin Sieberer & Simon Messner am 30.01.2020 That´s really a 5-star Route!! The rock is very solid and the steep climbing on small pockets is just brilliant. In the upper part of the route you will find plenty of threads which show you the way. Descend: abseil down the route “Al Khumaira” (bolted anchors).   […]

“Sweatshop”, Jebel Namwash (Oman)

“Sweatshop”, Jebel Namwash (Oman)

Martin Sieberer & Simon Messner am 25.01.2020 Jebel Namwash is a Tower North-East of Jebel Misht. The only “unconfortable” fact is that the route is exposed to the sun… hence the name “Sweatshop”. When it´s sooo hot that you have to dry your pants like this… 😀

“Canyonlands”, Organ Pipes (Oman)

“Canyonlands”, Organ Pipes (Oman)
