At the Wadi Rum entrance complex is a Tourism Police office. If you are climbing at Wadi Rum, you are supposed to register with the police and give them a photocopy of your passport. Bringing a spare photocopy to give them saves some time, as they don't have a photocopier of their own.
Description
This route is located on Jebel Rum, just left of Goldfinger. The second pitch of the climb (a beautiful left-facing corner with a hand crack) is the money pitch.
P1: Start to the left of Goldfinger under an obvious, steep crack. This crack might be what you first think is the start of Goldfinger, but that route goes up easier cracks about 40 feet to the right. Climb the steep crack past a chockstone, then go up and right to belay below the obvious, left-facing corner (5.8, 120 feet).
P2: Climb the obvious, left-facing corner to its top and a fixed anchor (5.10, 80 feet).
Rappel the route with two ropes.
Note that Goldfinger also rappels down this route, so after doing Goldfinger, you could TR the corner pitch (p2, 5.10).
