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). Climb this to join fool’s gold in large corner/crack. 2) Second pitch of fool’s Gold.
