Jebel el Kest & Taskra North
1000 rock climbs in the Anti-Atlas
Morocco Rock is the definitive rock climbing guidebook covering the Jebel el
Kest and Taskra north part of the Anti-Atlas in Morocco, all the regions in
the book being about one hour away from the busy market town of Tafraoute.
This area is an exciting new venue, still in its relative infancy, and fast
becoming a really popular destination with guaranteed winter sun. The book
contains over 100 crags and around 1,000 routes, all detailed with modern,
colourful topos, accompanied by full text descriptions. There are detailed,
full colour maps to each of the six major areas and an abundance of stunning
action photographs to whet the appetite and inspire.
This destination is easily reached, only a short distance further than the
south of Spain and all of the climbing is less than two hours from Agadir. 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
the climbing here a distinctly `cragging` feel, akin to that to be found in
North Wales or the Lake District. There is also plenty of scope for new
routes, for those so inclined.
There is everything in this guide, from big mountain days on multi pitch
routes, to roadside single pitch cragging, predominantly on perfect, hard
baked, golden quartzite. The fantastic eastern culture and warm winter
sunshine, from October right through to April, together with the diversity of
extraordinary adventures to be had, make this area a very special place in
which to climb.
