Mikey hanging out on the 'other' side... this gorge goes down at least another 150 meters, if not more!
Greg keeping an eye on the flash flood... was just a baby one, though it was a burly 30 minute storm, complete with hail in the Sultanate.
Greg getting himself up to the third traverse. Probably the dooziest one, you had to do a bit of a climb before you could get on a little perch (one person at a time) to set up your pulley for the cross. Once set though, it was smooth sailing straight across.
The descent down to the beginning of the VF.

Via Ferrata
More Oman this past weekend, with another visit to Snake Canyon. This time, in addition to the wadi walk through of Snake Canyon, we topped it off with a run through of the Via Ferrata there, basically a bolted section of steel cabling with several traverses across the wadi, all 300 meters from the canyon floor. Fun!

Absolutely fantastic trip, good guys, breathtaking scenery, and some damned good cliff jumping! Oman rocks!
