Guidebook includes climbing routes on 25 immense crags on the south side of Morocco's Jebel el Kest, 120km south-east of Agadir, based from Tafroute. The superb rock conditions on the pink quartzite rock provide excellent and adventurous rock climbing routes of up to 500 metres high across all grades.

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.
