Serious alpine-style multi-pitch on the south face of Jebel Misht. The route starts circa 70m left of Flying pegs and the routes cross at the large ledge. Flying pegs follows the large corner left, while Fata Morgana continues directly up the pillar to the summit crest
Getting there
Jebel Misht can be reached easily from Muskat. Take the motorway for 2.5 hours Nizwa, then continue along the state road for 1.5 hours to Bahla located on the south side of the mountain. Jebel Misht is roughly divided into two seperate walls, the 800m South Face and 450m East Face. Gear
2 bolts, pitons, 4 equipped belays Notes
Camp beneath the wall. Highly recommended a reconnaissance via jeep to check out the approach to the start of the climbs.
