How difficult is this hike? I have read on somebody's account that there are some quite high boulders later into the wadi near that flag.
Looking at this map, I can see that there is some sort of a village or terraces (just where the trail ends). Is there any chance to climb to that terrace/village place for camping?
I would love to camp there one day. Onec, You cross the flag, a but further between the 2 mountains wall is matchless place to camp on the mountain floor. I don't think,it will difficult for you. But finding the trail is quit hard at some occasion. I was following one wickiloc trail and it took us to high bouldering and wrong way. Better you do not follow my trail, otherwise you will be doing the same.
It's not difficult for you, I guess. Even we did not follow the wire up there near the flag rather climbed up to the flag from the valley but coming back flowed the trail and used the wire as well.
Which place are you referring to as high bouldering (is it by the red wall itself?). I have written a post on how to go around that red wall. If you look at your map, it will be somewhere halfway this red wall with massive boulders that I am not sure you can even pass.
Also, what is the wire are you talking about? Didn't understand this part :)
There is a fixed wire near the flag, we need to walk up from.the mountains, I guess. We just went up by climbing.
We should keep left, but we went to right which is not the trail.
