Egypt Excursion: Wyoming climbers explore Sinai Mountains

Laramie resident and renowned climber, explorer, and writer, Mark Jenkins, embarks on a last minute expedition with fellow Wyoming rock climbers to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula in search of unclimbed rock walls. While exploring the harsh and rugged mountains they also find they share a connection with the mountain loving Bedouin people who call this land home.

Excuse me, but Mt. Sinai is in Saudi Arabia. It is known as Jabal El Lawz on the opposite side of the Sea of Reeds. Great Video on the climbing quite interesting though people should get their facts straight as to exactly where Moses recieved the Torah. Lol There is a rock platform edifice below the Jabel El Lawz site which has Zoomorphic Zebu Bull inscriptions inscribed upon it. The common ANE pictograms for both Bull El or the Aleph and Apis/Hathor. Much Respect to the skillsets the men here posess.

Thank you for your note. Modern scholars are divided over the location of the Biblical Mt. Sinai. This Wikipedia article lists 12 possible sites, including Jabal al-Lawz. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Sinai_(Bible)#Suggested_locations

Wow, I get all the WY info but today I got surprised... a COOL SURPRISE! My brother & I loved climbing rocks in Colorado that were SUPER LITTLE MINNIE & SKINNIER ROCKS than what you were on!! I have no clue if the rocks are the same tip or not... I assume not.? I very much appreciate & enjoyed watching this today... you shared alot of info along the way. Question: the colorful t-shirts stud for what?

What does the camels eat?

[@StyleJuba]

Good question! The camels ate any vegetation they could find, including some incredibly thorny plants that apparently their gums were tough enough to endure. Additionally, the bedouin had some feed they brought along for them.
