Climbing in the Moroccan Anti-Atlas : Tafroute and Jebel el Kest
Publisher: Cicerone Press
Free delivery available · Amazon buyer protection
This comprehensive guide covers climbing routes on the spectacular pink quartzite rock of Jebel el Kest, located 120km south-east of Agadir near the oasis town of Tafroute. The superb rock conditions offer excellent climbing on approximately 25 crags, with routes of all grades reaching up to 500 metres in height—many of which remain largely unexplored.
However, this is not a destination for novice climbers. The crags are often complex and demand strong route-finding skills, while descents can involve abseils and down-climbing in exposed situations. The reward is outstanding climbing in an exceptional setting, with reliable weather conditions and minimal risk of electrical storms.
