90 Metre Crag (Right hand side) -- Upper Wadi Bih, UAE / Oman Border © Lord of Starkness
A bit of a misnomer - 90 metres is the approximate height of the major ledge system cutting across the face.
Prior to the closure of the UAE border crossing, this was without doubt the most popular crag in the Wadi Bih system. You can literally belay from the back bumper of of your car - though this is not advised unless you are not bothered about rocks falling on to the roof!
A good variety of excellent 1 - 3 pitch routes, with one longer combination of over 215 metres reaching the top of the upper tier.
Grades range from V Diff to E5.
Since the closure of the UAE border crossing, access is still possible via the mountain road from Dibba on the east coast - though it does add couple of hours on to journey times from the cities of the Gulf Coast.
