Seasons

All months except May to October when temperatures are too hot to contemplate climbing and walking; November and December are the “wet season”.

Centres

Access is through Agadir, the climbing is based from the pleasant town of Tafroute.

Difficulty

These routes are remote and long trad climbs in a wild environment. Many of the climbs are mid-grade. But there is no rescue so be prepared and equipped properly.

Must See

Massive walls of barely climbed rock!

A great many new routes that have been done (there are quite a number) have in substantial part been done by climbers who have not been associated with the original team members. (The guide book has certainly resulted in many people visiting the area). Their routes have in part been recorded in a large book that is kept at Les Amandier Hotel in Tafrout. These records are often simple text with no photo.
