Teaming up with local climber Abdallah Al Zalabeh, Rob travels to a remote corner of the desert to rediscover and climb an old Bedouin hunting route.

“Some places in the world you just want to be away from everything, it’s nice to not have any people,” said Durran.

“Wadi Rum isn’t like that at all – it’s as much about the people here as it is about the actual desert.” Film by Coldhouse Collective.
