Itinerary description

Parked at Bear Grylls. The early the better as there is only limited spot around the area. Not for beginners hike i must say. The trail involved steep ascent, big boulders, and passing on some edges in which you must not underestimate. The view is 10/10 and you can see the Jabel Jais from the summits. I would strongly suggest to use wikiloc for navigation especially if you’re not familiar on the trail.

Happy hiking!!
