Shop →YAWM SHI'B JABALAH · LATE PRE-ISLAMIC ERA
Nearly 1,400 years ago, two forces met at a narrow mountain pass — one of the last great battles before Islam. We make gear for the ones still climbing toward it.
01 — TWO SIDES
Two forces converged on a tight mountain shi'b. The ground would decide as much as the fighters.
02 — THE THIRST
Then loosed the herd into the enemy line. Thirst broke the ranks before a blade was drawn.
03 — THE ROUT
The line broke, and one of the era's best-known leaders died in the chaos.
04 — THE NAME
The year isn't settled. The ground is — and it still carries the name.
Based on early Arab historical accounts — details vary between sources
THE MOUNTAIN
A plateau with a narrow shi'b and limited entrances — the same terrain that decided a battle here, in the last years before Islam.

LOCAL LEGEND — a climber who scaled the cliff for falcon chicks and got wedged in a crevice. Still told at the base of the mountain today.
