Multipitch Atlas

Tafraout (Anti-Atlas)

Morocco

Granite domes and quartzite ridges in the Anti-Atlas around Tafraout, 3 hours from Agadir. This is a trad area: Jebel el Kest and almost everything else needs a full rack. A handful of bolted lines exist on the granite domes at Tazka, just outside town. Winter sun; October to April.

The Silk Road

Bolted granite slabs to the top of a dome above the Tafraout valley, with a hand-traverse across a gully on pitch 3. Short, but a rest day from trad in an area that is otherwise almost all cams.
