TAFRAOUT GRANITE

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 TOP 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.
