		<description><![CDATA[Aiden has sent me this description for his late December 2011 route &#8220;The Gambler&#8221; in Wadi Ghalilah. In case anyone is wondering, this is what I know to be missing from the topo archive (and not in the guidebook) at the moment: - John Gregory&#8217;s routes at Transition in Wadi Shahah - various new crags [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[April in the UAE means deep water solo season. The water is still refreshingly cool but not so cold that a frigophobe like me can&#8217;t stay immersed for a while. The sun is still low enough in the sky for long enough to dry out the caves and overhangs. The jellyfish of winter are gone, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Sorbonne wall The climbing wall at Sorbonne University, on Reem island in Abu Dhabi, is probably the best wall so far built in the UAE. It&#8217;s only ~10m tall but the width allows for about 20-25 independent routes and the modern Walltopia design has a good variety of interesting features. It is also very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The climbing scene in the UAE feels pretty dysfunctional these days, or at least in a state of uncertain flux. Depressing though I sometimes find this, it&#8217;s reassuring to be reminded that organised sport can sometimes be no better. Last Saturday &#8211; during prime climbing conditions &#8211; I devoted a day to supporting my eldest [...]]]></description>

As I understand it from various sources, he spent a couple of half days outside, which proceeded as follows: a drive up Wadi Shahah, but no climbing as there was &#8220;no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday Aiden Laffey and Philippe Delaunay made the probable second ascent of Exit Surprise on Shady Circus cliff in Wadi Ghalilah. Superficially climbing a six pitch E2 may not seem very remarkable but this route&#8217;s reputation has been rising after multiple abandoned attempts. Aiden had retreated off it four times previously: twice with Gen [...]]]></description>
