Climbing in the Moroccan Anti-Atlas: Tafroute and
Jebel El Kest
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe
(Cicerone Mountain Walking)
(Paperback) byKarl Smith
"Climbing in the Anti-Atlas" offers routes on
crags on the south side of Jebel el Kest, 120km south-east of Agadir and close
to the oasis town of Tafroute. Here the superb rock conditions on the pink
quartzite rock of Jebel provide excellent rock climbing of up to 500 metres in
height in all grades. This guide gives comprehensive coverage of approximately
25 crags, mostly unexplored by any climber. However, it is not a place for the
novice. Many of the crags are complex, and route finding can be difficult.
Descents occasionally involve abseils and down-climbing in exposed situations.
The weather is rarely inclement and, even when it is, it is unlikely to involve
electrical storms.

Moroccan Sufism, saints, "marabouts," etc.! Anything you would ever want to

fits into the wider Islamic context. From a demographical breakdown of saints
to the follies of Abu Yiza, this book has it all and more. Certainly not for
the faint of heart, though; Cornell tackles so much that a quick reading just
couldn't do the book justice. (A reader from hanover, nh , May 8, 1999)

demonstrates not only the arts and crafts of Islamic civilization, but also its
sciences and administrative skills. Burckhardt's unique black and white
photographs from the 1930s are included.
