Description Suggest change

The area that contained ancient Babylon is considered by many to be the cradle of civilization. Sacred rivers and valleys around which some of humans first civilizations emerged, this wall is an omage to them and contains some of Babylons most beautiful testpieces.

Getting There Suggest change

On the left side of the cliff you will come to an obvious steep cave. This is the river wall, that boasts the hardest and steepest routes in Babylon. Bring a stick clip as the starts are on somewhat questionable rock, but don't worry, it's over soon and the rock becomes bullet hard and some of the best limestone you'll touch this side of the Atlantic.
