It describes some of the biggest and best mountain treks and climbs, routes long and short, difficult and easy, illustrated with pictures that show the rich culture of the Berber people. It is sure to be the inspiration for many fascinating Moroccan expeditions.

Climbing in the Moroccan Anti-Atlas

Tafroute and Jebel el Kest - A Climber's Guidebook

Claude Davies / Climbingguide / Kletterführer / 192 pages, 4 maps, 129 photos, including Routes (2004)


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: cess 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!
