Review
A fantastic select, but comprehensive, guidebook covering the Anti-Atlas region of Morocco, including the north and south side of Jebel el Kest, Jebel Taskra and the Tafraout Granite. Well indexed, route descriptions included as well as detailed, accurate and clear topos. Maps for every crag, including good overview shots and QR codes to get the climber to all the relevant parking spots. A clear and comprehensive crag table, including walk and drive times, crag summaries and aspects, and grade ranges for each cliff. Also including many accommodation options, as well as 10 'rest day' detailed walks. Along with mouth-watering action shots to inspire, this has to be the most comprehensive select guidebook for this area.
