In reply to pabbage:
I have to agree with you on that. I have been to Dubai quite a few times, and just got back this Sunday gone. A few trips back I was determined to get into one of the walls to see what it was like, ended up in the Wafi one. Poor as a description does not cut it. We only had a certain amount of time allocated, and we had to be chaparoned by one of the staff, who insisted on belaying us all the time with a GriGri on a toprope. There was few good routes that I wanted to lead up, but we were not allowed.
