Climb Tafraout
Tafraout Granite
3rd Edition
The semi-desert landscape surrounding Tafraout, in southern Morocco, is home to a paradise of granite domes, boulders and crags on which you'll find a wonderfully eclectic mix of climbing.
Although it is perhaps better known for the high-quality trad climbing on the quartzite of nearby Jebel el Kest, Tafraout is gaining a reputation as one of the best granite crack-climbing destinations this side of the Atlantic. For crack-lovers, this new guidebook describes more than 130 pure crack climbs, including everything from finger cracks to classic hand jams and the wide off-width cracks for which the town is particularly famous. The guide also provides detailed coverage of single- and multi-pitch routes, both sport and trad, as well as a number of Fontainebleau-style bouldering circuits. In total, more than 800 routes and problems are described, making this a must-have companion for climbers wishing to explore this incredible landscape.
