Climbing in the Moroccan Anti-Atlas is Claude Davies’ Cicerone guide to the unique opportunities available in Morocco’s dramatic Atlas Mountains. The guide focuses on challenging routes near Tafroute (120km south-east of Agadir) in the Ameln Valley, set against the backdrop of the isolated yet beautiful region of the Jebel el Kest region. Weather conditions allow excellent climbing destinations in both the spring and autumn, allowing climbers extended trips to the region.

The guide is organized into section outlining 25 crags in the the Tasfroute region in addition to a section on walking in the general area. A comprehensive introduction provides practical information on how to get to Tafroute and also the history of climbing in this area of Morocco. There are also notes on route grades and length, granite climbing, climbing on the quartzite and also on the north side of Jebel el Kest. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by labelled colour photographs of the possible climbs and each route’s name, allowing climbers to pre-plan each climb accordingly.
