Gorgeous Video: Rock Climbing in Oman | National Geographic


I started thinking about where I hadn’t
been before I found a reference and it
said something to the effect of the
fascinating and mysterious moose and Dom
Peninsula and that was about all it said
marks and it’s probably one of the most
prolific exploratory rock climbers of
his generation he always has a plan to
go somewhere that you didn’t even know
had rock climbing or you didn’t even
know existed some of the most
interesting stuff I’ve ever seen in the
world
sort of jagged limestone Peaks that just
fall straight into the water or rock and
water and that’s it we should be able to
find something good I mean there’s just
miles and miles of coastline of rock
we’re hoping that the rock is going to
be good soloing is defined by climbing
without a rope and so deep water soloing
is soloing rock climbs above deep water
it’s a relatively new branch of rock
climbing deepwater cell and can be
dangerous
the water turns into rock when you go
high enough you will really hurt
yourself
thought this is the first time that I’ve
ever deep water so load climbing with
two young guns as we like to call them
and they’re telling me about stories of
people who have died who landed wrong
it’s kind of an interesting
juxtaposition to have mark who’s this
veteran climber who’s climbed all over
the world and so he’s kind of at that
point in his in his career where he’s
brought things down a notch but then you
have Alex and Hazel who are at the point
in their career where they’re only
bringing it atop notches constantly
we tried it in the evening it sort of
lowest tide and you could actually hit
the bottom they’re pushing me I’ve had
to expand the boundaries of what I
thought was reasonable to climb without
a rope on this trip it’s been really
cool to experience all these kind of
different perspectives on you know
landscape that’s really different the
climb that we did of this huge buttress
above the village of sybbie we’re in for
it I mean this thing is gigantic was
just an amazing day in the mountains one
of my best experiences because it got us
up high could see all these limestone
fingers extending out into the Persian
Gulf I know that that will be you know
one of those days that I kind of always
look back on is one of the highlights of
my climbing career to see the world
really is kind of the essence of it for
me the cultural experience and to meet
new people I’m doing this for the
adventure
