6c+Scramble up to the highest point of the slope below the East Face of Jebel Dahab. 1) Climb up rightward trending wide gully/crack. Continue to walk right to the base of a slab with a white water worn streak. Climb and step right to the base of a short corner crack. The left wall is made of very bad rock, but the right wall is good. Get into the crack and become established with a hand jam. A good edge/crack splits the right wall. Use this and swing round the right face and join another crack. Climb this to ledge. Walk round right to base of crack (curving corner).
