New E5 at Spice World
Visiting Brit Dan Donovan onsighted a new line at Spice World last Friday 26th January. Apparently the line was cleaned and abandoned by Ian Gregory some years back. Dan wasn't particularly intending to do a new route, just thought it 'looked good'. This was his second climb in the UAE having flown in the previous morning. The name is tentatively Melanie Brown (Scary Spice ... geddit?) unless Dan volunteers something different. I seconded the route but am not offering any recommendation (frankly the whole of Wadi Bih can be broken up for Dubai breakwaters for all I care ...) but I guess it might rate *** in a local context.
Description: climbs the flake right of Salute of the Juggler to where it ends, fill the break with cams, rock up leftwards to a thin footledge then go boldly up and right to a prominent protruding feature (about 7m directly above the flake) then straight to the top above this to top out past a couple of cheesey corners. About E5 6a.

I met Mel B. in Goa 4 years ago.
All these English kids were running around saying "OMG that's Scary Spice." And I thought "Stupid English kids think every black woman is Scary Spice."
But she was.

Ummmm, no ... not 'met' in the biblical sense.
Her kid was playing with Lucie and she was slumming it at our table on the veranda at our guesthouse. She seemed a bit perturbed that we didn't seem to know who she was, but generally she was a nice person.

I have discovered that my comment:

... may have been misinterpreted.
Obviously what I meant was:
the whole of Wadi Bih apart from Cascade Circus can be broken up for Dubai breakwaters for all I care
Hope that's cleared up ;-
