Join us on a journey through the Anti-Atlas Mountains and experience a land of rugged beauty and serene tranquility. The Anti-Atlas range and varied landscapes surrounding Tafraout offers a unique combination of dramatic rock formations, lush oases, and traditional Berber villages. Encounter towering red cliffs, expansive plateaus, and hidden valleys, each offering a new perspective on the natural splendour of the region. The contrast between the arid, rocky outcrops and the verdant, life-sustaining groves of date palms and almond trees is striking, providing a rich tapestry of sights and sounds that change with the seasons.

In addition to its natural beauty, walking in the Anti-Atlas allows for deep cultural immersion. The Berber people, indigenous to the region, have a rich history and tradition that is deeply intertwined with the land. As you hike through this landscape, you'll have the opportunity to visit traditional Berber villages, where you can experience the hospitality and warmth of the local communities. These villages, with their distinctive architecture and vibrant culture, offer a window into a way of life that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.

INTRO TO SPORT LEAD CLIMBING
This morning, we were joined by Alex from Canada, who had the morning free from his tour and was keen to sample some of the local sport climbing. A regular indoor climber with some outdoor lead experience, Alex wanted to gain more confidence on the rock, obtain new skills, and hopefully lead a few climbs.

We started out bottom roping some of the routes to get a feel for the granite and think about restful positions and clipping. He quickly progressed through the grades and had soon climbed all of the harder routes at the crag. With confidence built, it was time to jump on the sharp end. The rest of the morning was spent with Alex leading 5 routes including 2 6a+ before it was time to retreat to some shade.

A fine effort and well done Alex. See you next time 🇨🇦

Tizgut Gorge is home to some impressive single and multi-pitch trad routes with a relatively straightforward approach.

Tizgut Crack is a top end E1 5b, first ascended by Joe Brown, Chris Davies & T.Jones in 1993. It, and other notable 3 star routes draw many people to the gorge each season.

Tafraout and it’s surrounding mountains have been a popular rock climbing destination since the 1980’s. The numerous boulder strewn Granite tors surrounding the town offer a variety of routes and climbing styles for boulderers, sport and trad climbers alike. From delicate bolted slabs to steep cracks and off-width test-pieces, there is something for everyone.

The contrasting but equally varied Quartzite peaks of the Jebel El Kest range offers traditional routes from single pitch cragging to long and committing multi-pitch giants and everything in-between. Countless towering buttresses and ridge lines also provide plenty of adventurous outings for scramblers and mountaineers.

Let’s not forget the local weather. A stable, warm and dry climate provides climbers with the perfect conditions for memorable outings day after day. So why not join our experienced and qualified climbing instructors and discover for yourself, what draws so many climbers to the region.

The Aoukerda Gorge tour is an unforgettable experience that combines natural beauty, adventure, and a glimpse into Morocco’s remote landscapes. The journey begins with a scenic drive through the Anti‑Atlas mountains, passing through quiet Berber villages and rocky outcrops before reaching the dramatic entrance of the gorge. As you descend into Aoukerda, towering cliffs close in, revealing narrow passages carved by centuries of erosion. Marvel at striking rock formations, lush patches of oleander and palm, and a historic hand-carved tunnel once used by villagers to manage river flow. The atmosphere is peaceful and raw, far removed from crowded tourist trails — perfect for those seeking solitude, photography, or a deeper connection with Morocco’s hidden gems.

Last week, we welcomed back Danny all the way from rainy UK. He joined us in January and couldn't get back quick enough. This time he wanted to explore new areas, do a bit of scrambling, a climb or two, and experience some Moroccan rain (the forecast wasn't great). Battling the elements and making the most of the dry periods, we did the following:

Day 1
Mulripitch Sport Climbing on Northwest Buttress on "Eflodne". A pleasant 3 pitch route of 115m.

Day 2
A windy grade 3 scramble ascent of Grid Ridge onto Gridrarine with some exposed steep sections along the way.

Day 3
A very wet day throughout so we went and hunted out some waterfalls above Aguelz, these cascades are dry 99% of the time nowadays so a rare sight to finish off Danny's trip.

Great to have Danny back, no doubt we'll be seeing him again real soon.
