Dibba Deep Water Soloing

So we headed to the East Coast this past weekend for a little deep water soloing. Hired out two speed boats from the local Omanis and shot up along the coast line for a few hours to get some climbing in. The fun part is getting to the top of the route and having no way back down except jumping! There were some great lines right along the water, with plenty of deep blue beneath for a safe bail out.

Special thanks to fellow Yank Mike Olver for organizing the trip.

Yon, Dave and Felipe all at once.

The approach to the pic below... Absolutely stunning cliff faces, ranging from smooth sandstone like this to jagged volcanic rock that can shred your fingers (and shoes).

Yes, we actually jumped this one (at least Mike, Tom, and I) - a solid 60 footer...
