Wadi Climbing Dubai United Arab Emirates

This is Martin climbing out of a wadi. This how we came down to find the swimming hole where we went swimming. Note that it was hot. Really hot. I’d guess it was somewhere approaching 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit. It was so hot that I couldn’t hold on to the rocks for more than a couple of seconds as I was climbing out of the wadi. It was so bad that I had to use my hat as a glove to help me get out. Males old enough to draw social security should probably admit that their best rock climbing days are behind them. Martin, however, didn’t seem to notice my age. He’d stop every once in a while and ask me if I was doing okay. What could I say? He wasn’t going to rescue me unless I got into some serious danger and it wasn’t like this was a major mountain. It was, however, a serious climb for me.
