Description

Bouldering Dahab for Expert Climbers

Are you thinking about bouldering Dahab? Here’s what Jerome Mowat found when he joined the Arch bouldering team on a holiday in Dahab:

Dahab is a unique climbing location and should be on any boulderer’s radar for a number of reasons:

  • It hardly ever rains, so conditions are stable.
  • It’s a nice escape from the harsh North European winter, warm but still offering good climbing temperatures.
  • It’s very cheap out there, and there are cheap flights to Sharm El-Sheikh.
  • There are a stack of new problems of all grades to put up, including loads of obvious ones.
  • The Bedouin culture is easy going and the people of Desert Divers are very friendly.
  • No where else in the world is it possible to free dive or scuba dive and boulder on the same day – Thailand offers sport climbing but not bouldering.

And most importantly, the climbing’s bloody good, you should try it.
