Description

Explore the world of multi-pitch climbing in this intro course at one of the world´s most exciting locations – the Anti-Atlas Mountains! Come with me to Morocco and I will guide you through this course that will add crucial skills to your climbing repertoire!

This region in the heart of Morocco is far away from the bustle of big cities. In fact, the area is sparsely populated, so arriving at Tafraout will take you deep into nature.

The Anti-Atlas is made up of rocky outcrops and landscapes – making Tafraout a great place to try rock climbing! The mountain range can be dated back roughly 300 million years, and such ancient rock is perfect for multi-pitching.

The weather makes it a destination for any mountaineers seeking a new and exciting adventure, and its popularity has been growing in the past few years.

Our trip will focus on the technical skills necessary to enhance your overall ability as a climber. I will provide you with a solid base in multi-pitch knowledge and experience so you will be more confident and comfortable when you complete the program.

I am a practical coach who will make sure you are safe, vastly improve your climbing, and all the while have an incredible time enjoying what you came here to do. The cultural exposure is an added bonus to the trip, and I can help you communicate with ease throughout the trek.

I have programs available anywhere from two (2) to six (6) days in length, not including the travel days before and after. This means we can really prepare you with the tools to advance your climbing career. I will tailor the course just for you.

With the Saharan climate, rural setting, and historic geoformation, this is a great program to dive into and will give you a rare chance to see some climbing routes that few will ever know. With my expertise in the region and in climbing, I can guide you through an amazing adventure that won´t likely be repeated.

Book this trip NOW and see why Morocco and Tafraout are becoming some of the most sought after and popular climbing destinations in the world!

I can also take you multi-pitch climbing in the High Atlas mountains, too! Or we can try my mixed climbing program in the Tazaghart Plateau!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
