Morocco Rock: The Anti – Atlas

1700 Selected Rock climbs in the Anti – Atlas

The Anti-Atlas, by Morocco Rock, is the latest selected climbs guide to
Morocco’s winter sun trad climbing destination, featuring the very best routes
to be found in the region around the busy market town of Tafraout, and only a
couple of hours from Agadir airport.

This revised and updated guide documents a colossal 1700 routes on over 100
crags, including many new developments in this, now established, quartzite
paradise. The book features new cliffs in the mighty Amaghouz Gorge on the
western fringes, as well as new discoveries in every major area throughout the
guide, and also includes the granite boulders and outcrops around Tafraout,
which have a mixture of trad and sport climbing.

The area should appeal to all climbers with a sense of adventure, and
especially to those wanting to experience a change of culture, and it is
already becoming an extremely popular destination worldwide. Modern, colourful
topos and inspiring action photography compliment the user-friendly maps and
crag table, facilitating swift and easy crag and route choice. There are now 9
major areas to choose from, including a selection of varied length walks at
the end of each section, to keep any stalwarts entertained on a `rest day›.

No adverts also mean that this guidebook is packed full of information from
cover to cover, including state of the art smartphone navigation to the
parking spots via satellite co-ordination. The beautiful and rugged mountain
terrain is surprisingly quick and easy to access, many of the cliffs within
twenty minutes walk from the road, giving much of the climbing here a
distinctly `cragging› feel, akin to that to be found in many areas of the UK.

There is everything in this guide, from big mountain days on multi pitch
routes, to roadside single pitch cragging, predominantly on perfect, sun-
baked, golden quartzite. The fantastic eastern culture and warm winter
sunshine, from September right through to May, together with the diversity of
extraordinary adventures to be had, make this area a very special place in
which to climb.
