Overview
Exposed but very enjoyable 3rd pitch!Nice short route at the magnificent East Face of East Dome(Jebel Rum Massif), first 4 pitches of I.B.M. Route goes directly by crack bow at left side of the wall to great terrace. There are fine exposed face at 3rd pitch, but technicaly it's not difficult & not too sustained. At the last pitch you will need to pass trough interesting fireplace where you'll feel safe and conveniently.
First ascent by C.&Y.Remy 6th May 1986.
