400m, 8 pitches.
First big route done in Rum by original exploratory team in 1984. Long (about 1km) and varied with about eight 4b/4c pitches, some exposed chimneys and complex route finding in and out of Great Siq. Stunning rock scenery through the huge arch 'The Eye of Allah'. Good views of Rum valley and Um Ishrin summits from top of Dome. Descent by same route.
M Shaw, A Baker, D Taylor, A Howard 09/Oct/1984.

βeta: This was supposed to be our easy day out, but ended up being a big adventure—route finding fatigue kicked in early. A few points to notice: * For an initial start of Hammad's Route, keep going up to the head of the valley - we did an extra unnecessary pitch before hitting the crack (check https://www.summitpost.org/hammad-route/475462) * When inside Great Siq, the fork into Eye of Allah differs from most descriptions. There's an abseil reached when walking around the siq walls (at the north side), and another very short one to jump across the siq so no need for a sketchy traverse * Walk/climb to the pedestal to find an unprotected boulder problem - not as hard, but spot your partner when she gets on with it The rest of the route is straightforward. Reserve lots of time for abseiling to the bottom (there is an abseil line on the RIGHT side of Eye of Allah, which we took). It's a long journey down, and mentally demanding | ||

βeta: Did alternative descent down the east face, which is quiet involving and easy to make mistakes. Ropes snag easily and require team pulling power. | βeta? | |

βeta: The small "boulder problems" after the jump over the Great Siq were actually not that easy... Rope drag around the big "mushroom" is ridiculous. | ||
