      "We accessed Jabal Shar from the west by the main wadi that is south of the three main peaks. We drove our 4x4 to 400 meters. The main wadi rises to 1100 meters before it turns north. Our high camp was established at approximately at 1450 meters at the base of a large slab that runs into the two lower peaks. From that point we climbed the slab and accessed two high wadis that run respectively up to the two "Rhino Horns" that gave us access to another large slab of 200-250 meters of vertical gain which we climbed to a ridge that ran north into the main main peak. All of the climbing to the last slab was mostly 4th class with short, steeper sections of 5.1-5.6 difficulty which we soloed. The last slab to access the main peak was 5.8 friction climbing which we protected. Once we reached the last ridge accessing the main peak we again free soloed 4th and easy 5th class climbing for the final 100-150 meters to the top. The main difficulties in the climb were two fold; the approach up the wadi is extremely loose and dangerous, plus complex with regard to finding the easiest way through the maze, although there are ample signs of local Saudi hunting camps and campfires up to our high camp ..." — raymondtimm • Mar 3, 2017
      "Ray Timm, Tor Dierichs, Don Kochka, Mike Olsen. Chris Morgan to summit plateau previous week. 13 roped pitches 5.11,A2 Summit at 10:00 AM. 8 hour descent Overnight bivouac. Wildlife: Baboons, scorpions, cobra, griffons, ravens. Just a bit of information about the Jabal Shada area. Four of us made the first summit ascent of Jabal Shada 8 years ago in February, 2003 and three of us repeated the route again in November 2010. The route is called Timm/Caddey. Bernie Caddey did all of the initial exploring in this area and found the weakness that made the climb possible. Unfortunately Bernie was unable to summit with us due to his contract expiring the previous year in 2002. Not counting the 4th class scrambling sections to reach the start of the roped climbing, I would conservatively rate it 5.11a/b A2. Total of 11 roped pitches with intermittent 4th class sections. Overall, some of the most unique climbing that I've ever done in my life. Every pitch is totally different in character varying from steep face climbing, chimneys, and off width crack. Rock is excellent on all of the pitches except for pitch # 4 which is quite rotten rock with poor protection. Truly ..." — raymondtimm • Feb 28, 2003
