Mountaineering and ropes

Stunning mountaineering on Jabel Hafeet. First had a ride 13km uphill. The guys dragged of all the way up. Lobby was a star.

The trek up here was stunning and now we are waiting at the top of the mountain to do am abseil and a traverse through a dry canyon. Still quite a distance before we get back to the start. Then we ride to Al Ain, about 20km to the finish.

Well done team www.AR.co.za.

I must admit I was initially concerned when tracking your progress through the desert via GPS, to see team 17 heading in the opposite direction to rest of the teams – I thought Adventure Lisa was losing it…..only to discover later that you were in fact aiming for another CP :)

Thanks for the regular updates and allowing us folk back home to share in your experience….it has been amazing. I am now all pumped up to make my foray into adventure racing.
