During the past few years I’ve been using the ascending rhythm system for choosing the climbs during a trip. The system is not very structured and it has many not\u00a0measurable variables like the mood and the feeling but the basic concept is climbing the easy routes first and then progressing towards the hard ones. The main idea is to get into the\u00a0rhythm\u00a0of the local rock type with an ascending row of success.<\/p>\n

On the Wadi Rum trip our first route was the 5+ on Abu Maileh Tower and the second one The Beauty 6a on the Jebel um Ejil. The first route was 100 meters high and the second one 200 meters. This was ascending\u00a0rhythm as it’s supposed to be.<\/p>\n

Jebel um Ejil: The Beauty (6a, 200m) – October 15th, 2012<\/span><\/p>\n

According to all the books I read the Beauty was highly recommended and it’s western face with a shady corner was spot on with the current conditions. Climbing in the sun was no fun and climbing in the shade was what we were looking for. According to the books the climbing was supposed to be as good as on any of the best routes in Utah.<\/p>\n
