Ben climbing at Discworld, UAE © Eddie1234

Crag features

The majority of the climbing is on a face of crimpy limestone. However the crag also offers an interesting off-width crack and a nice multi pitch sport route. All but two routes are toprope accessible.

Disc World is best in the winter months due to its southeast aspect. The face does not receive shade until afternoon between 13:00-14:00. Parking is nearby and the crag is just a short scramble up some loose scree.

No Access Issues

From Dubai take E311 (Emirates Road) towards RAK (Ras Al Khaimah). From the roundabout at the north end of 311, drive north for 7.7km to the “Clock Tower Roundabout”. Take a right and drive for 2.4km till you see the RAK lagoon on the left. Turn right and drive for 2.9km. Go past the golf course to the “Lantern Roundabout”. Go straight though the “Lantern RA” and the “Coffee Pot RA”. Continue following this road as it passes through some houses until it dead-ends at a T junction.

At the T junction turn right and drive for 1.4km towards the mountains, passing a military camp, to the turn into Wadi Bih (signposted “W. Al Baih”). At the Wadi Bih junction continue on the main road that heads north for 3.0km passing another military base and a large satellite dish.

Turn right onto gravel for 500m to a fork in the road. Take the left at the fork. After another 1.1km the dirt road meets a paved road. The crag should now be visible. Turn left onto the paved road toward the crag. Leave the paved road and drive directly toward the crag.

If toping-out or setting up a top-rope be careful of the loose rock on the top!
