Morocco's Anti-Atlas mountains are a paradise of adventurous traditional climbing, where winter sun, stunning scenery and an enchanting culture combine to create one of the world's most exciting climbing destinations.
This updated edition of the popular Climb Tafraout guidebook is the most up-to-date guidebook currently available, describing more than 2000 routes in the Anti-Atlas region, covering the best crags across all of the main climbing areas, including The Ameln Valley, Sidi M'Zal, Jebel Taskra, Idaougnidif, Afantinzar, Samazar, Aouguenz, Tagzene, Tanalt and Tagmout. The guide also provides selective coverage of sport and trad climbs on Tafraout Granite (see Tafraout Granite guidebook for full coverage of this).
