Anti-Atlas Morocco Rock Climbing!
Warm greetings Summit Posters from sunny Bristol in the UK!
I know we are just into Summer but if you are looking for an easily affordable alternative to the usual Winter sun rock climbing destinations with easy logistics of flights and car hire, then may I highly recommend the superlative Anti-Atlas region of Morocco. So from a trip earlier in the year and a "bucket list" experience ticked with my buddies to visit this amazing region to sample the world class Trad climbing on offer. There are more fantastic 3* classics to last several lifetimes and a gazillion acres of virgin rock for any new routers out there! As for the weather? Well for a week at the the end of January we had 7 days of constant sunshine, daytime temperatures of over 20c so many crags were visited and lots of climbs were clambered. Anyway the entertainment was duly recorded so for anyone interested in viewing a short HD video featuring animated maps, the amazing Kasbah Tizourgane which is THE place to stay, climbing on the Tusker Pinnacle (the Anti-Atlas equivalent of the Napes Needle) plus the golden sun-kissed White Dome Towers and a smorgasbord of flora and fauna (look out for the crazy tree-climbing goats) then please use the embedded link:
If you wish to sample the full High Def experience and your computer has enough va va voom, you should be able to change the "Quality" icon to 1080p HD in the bottom right hand corner on the You Tube screen.
Also a maa-hoosive thanks to Paul and Emma at Morocco Rock for their excellent and invaluable advice! If you are thinking of going to the Anti-Atlas their superb guidebook (and latest supplement) is THE one to buy:

Anyway all constructive feedback or comments welcome, please feel free to share and hopefully it will inspire a few folks to visit this amazing area and climb an amazing pinnacle or golden mountain route!
My flights are already booked for next year so go on you know you want to pay a visit.... :-)
Cheers and happy climbing
