Overview

Land of the multi-pitch, stunning ancient Medinas and epic mountain ranges, Morocco has become a popular climbing destination for those seeking sun-drenched routes without the crowds and polish of Europe. Climbing here retains an adventurous feel, bringing you away from the bustling urban centres to rural areas where you can experience a more traditional way of life. After making the journey to your base in Taghia (an adventure in itself - see below!) you will get to climb on some of the area's world class single and multi-pitch routes, accompanied by your guide Gio. Bring your camera as the views are incredible! A rest-day hike will take you across the ancient "Via dei Pastori", allowing you to gain a better sense of the area and traditional Moroccan culture. A true one-of-a-kind experience!

Taghia, Marrakech

You are guaranteed a feeling of serenity and isolation, and get to experience a traditional way of life...

Located about 250km east of Marrakech, Taghia is the definition of off-the-beaten-track. Getting to the village alone requires a two-hour trek, and from there the crags are accessible only by foot. As a result, you are guaranteed a feeling of serentiy and isolation, and get to experience a more traditional Moroccan way of life.

The climbing at Taghia is spread over three converging orange limestone gorges, 200 to 800m long, with bolted routues between 5 and 8a. Although the area is best-known for its challengeing multi-pitches, there's plenty of excellent sport climbing to get dug into as well. Bring a pair of sturdy approach shoes, as getting to the crags can be quite the adventure!
