Wadi BC hike - challenging bouldering in Muscat
This hike certainly pushed our limits and comfort zone. We almost turned around just shortly after the start as we were not sure if we could make our way back. But we tried, and while I felt super uncomfortable, we managed. Eventually we turned back at the big dry waterfall - apparently you can climb it and continue beyond, but that was certainly way above our level :). All in all we had fun and it was a great short hike.
At the entrance of the wadi there are many stone piles what seem like remains of old beehive tombs - they are collapsed, but you can still see the spiral construction here and there.

You can climb up to where the sun sits - we did not :)
