1232m Dome. Contour round from Desert Rats. In the canyon on the north west side, up the ramp to the breche/saddle then up the ridge to the summit. Descent via Desert rats.
"Having waited too long for his companion, still preparing his pack, Pierre-Jean Lange embarks on the adventure alone, without any equipment... Convinced that he is on an ancestral Bedouin route, he is surprised by some quite exposed passages, and begins to doubt about the descent by this same itinerary. However, he reaches the summit with the vague feeling of being trapped by the mountain... But what does he hear around the summit? Voices, metallic clicking... Luckily he meets the "Desert Rats" team who has just deflowered the East face corner. Harnessed with some makeshift slings, he takes advantage of their rappels to return to the safe ground. What would have happened to him if that meeting had not taken place? Al Maghrar is a real dungeon... And Pierre-Jean was only wearing cheap tennis shoes from Aqaba's souk.
