Hariq Crag aka Wadi Will

International > Asia > Saudi Arabia

Description

Secluded crag developed by some of the local expat climbers. Nine sport routes with a lot of room for further development. The anchor bolts were recently replaced. However, due to the limited availability of hardware, all the anchors are only fixed with quicklinks, so climbers must rappel from the anchors when cleaning. Do not lower off the anchors, as this will cause unnecessary wear on the quicklinks and kink ropes.

Getting There

Drive south down road 5913. Take the last left before you get to road 6006. Follow that road until it ends and continue on the dirt road. Turn right when you get to the pile of rocks and work your way back as far as you can. Hike the last 15 minutes up to the crag.
