Wadi Mezin, Israel
I’ve been thinking a lot of how I take a snapling course… (in English it is called Rappelling. Somehow we managed to take a name of a carabiner and make it into a a word that sounds like an English word =).
Unfriendly, between my work and my studies (and Atzva – My girlfriend who won’t allow me to go every weekend for 4 months) I didn’t manage to find time for it yet… =/
But it doesn’t mean I can convince other who knew and have equipment to do snapling here and there =)
We first thought of doing the black canyon in the Yehudia stream (snapling in wet waterfalls!), but it is still closed for the winter season. Instead our friends took us to Wadi Mezin in Judaean desert! (Waterfalls, but a lot higher!)
Girl… I need to do it more often… =)
Take Care
Gad
Behold! Wadi Mezin and it’s high waterfalls!
Well we have to climb up in order to go down…
Half a way up, look at view
Almost at the top… climbing around 250m!
Going down, to the first waterfall
Shit! that’s high…
The First going down – hoping the tie the ropes good…
Wow! she that small blue thing? that’s Atzva!
A wadi in the desert but still, some water left after a good rain
A narrow pass in the wadi
Standing on the cliff and getting ready to go down
Don’t you think it was better if the helmet was on my head over here? In the matter of fact, it won’t really makes a differance at that height… =)
That’s the way to look down
Atzva going down
He looks so small from up here!
When there isn’t a solid rock around, you use those stakes
Black scorpion! don’t worry he isn’t dangerous, not more than a bee (unless you are alergic to it’s poison).
Bigger than the first! see the red thing on top? that’s me!
Wow! Second and third waterfalls =)
Some black coffee before the we going to the end, with the dead sea and the mountains of Jordan in the distance.
