Climbing Palestine

A Guide to Climbing in the West Bank

Rock climbing is probably the last thing that comes to mind when most people
hear the word `Palestine.› But rock climbing turns out to be an incredible
medium through which to explore this beautiful, troubled land. Climbing
Palestine is the first comprehensive guidebook to rock climbing in the West
Bank, detailing over 300 climbing routes at 9 different areas. The book also
describes how to travel to and within Palestine, where to stay, what to do on
rest days from climbing, and where to eat the most delicious local food.

Each chapter features detailed information on the history and access
information for each cliff. All of the routes are accompanied by short
descriptions, the French grade, and information on the required gear. The book
offers unique insights into the political situation and local culture.

By publishing this guidebook, the authors hope to put Palestine and its
amazing rock on the international climbing map, encourage foreigners to visit
and climb in this rich, incredible place, and advocate increased freedom of
movement for Palestinians.
