Go back to Egypt.
Go back to Sinai Desert Hiking.
After a leisurely breakfast the following morning, we set off on a 1-hour approach hike to our first route on Jebel Milehis: a fully bolted, 4-pitch 6a+ called Black Pearl. Though the route is actually 5 pitches, per Misha’s recommendation, we skipped the first 6b pitch as it looked slabby and unappealing (easy to bypass with a short scramble). The rest of the climbing was mostly easy but enjoyable and the desert views were outstanding! We were met by Misha on top where we spent a leisurely several hours exploring the high mesa that is Jebel Milehis. We were back in camp later that afternoon where Misha showed us how to properly enjoy the Egyptian punch we had brought along. As an integral component of a warm hibiscus tea it was indeed excellent especially in that setting.
