Just in time to kick-off the hiking season, FOX.AE organized the Climb for a Cause 2021 in Wadi Litibah last weekend with limited participants once again. We have hikers, athletes and outdoor enthusiasts from different groups and some of them even came all the way from Abu Dhabi as participants!
HIKE PROPER:
The group started hiking on Friday midnight to reach the campsite. After getting some rest, the group left the campsite and head to the so-called 'Arena' or 'Coliseum' in the morning.
During the hike, it's amazing how established Wadi Litibah's trail now compared to years back. Not only the trail itself improved but there are additional stone benches as well! You will also find shaded benches along the trail. And last but not the least, there are few sections now with railings. The railings are covered by rope/straw/jute - whatever that is, and it can cause splinter and I don't suggest holding on to it. Overall, Wadi Litibah's trail has improved over the years and even the name has a slight change (Stairway to Heaven - Right Bank and not to be confused with Stairway to Heaven), LOL!
ACTIVITIES (Rappelling & Rock Climbing):
In addition to the hike, two more activities awaits the participants - rappelling and rock climbing! FOX.AE has arranged and fixed the set up a week prior to maximize the time during the event. And what a great move it was, almost 80% of the participants were able to try the activities. Some of them even did twice given that we have a short period of time only.
But before the actual activity, FOX.AE secured that everyone is ready by briefing on what to do as well as securing the necessary gears and equipment.
Check out some of the participants enjoying their time during the rappelling and rock climbing activity!

SENTIMENTS:
Not to be confused with FOX.AE's yearly Cancer Awareness Climb, this particular climb is different. The Climb for a Cause in Wadi Litibah is dedicated to our fellow outdoor enthusiast - Grace, who is currently fighting her battle against lung cancer. Should you wish to help and support her in any form, feel free to reach her directly in her Facebook account Grace Hular.
Despite the weather still a little humid, the ongoing pandemic and whatever situations the participants are all in, FOX.AE and I are extremely grateful for all the participants who supported the cause and to all the support received (big or small). We pray for your generosity and kindness to be returned a hundred fold.๐๐ป๐ฆ
We are looking forward to see everyone in the trail again!
