Arrete nord

International > Africa > Morocco > Todra Gorge

Description

The "Arête nord" area is a very beautiful ridge on the left of the exit of the gorges.
The limestone is very good and stable if you stay on the right side. The left side overlooks the tourist road and is sometimes crowded of tourists.
Three fully equipped routes are possible (sparse old bolts), but some trad lines are possible.
YDS Grades range from 5.5 to 5.9
This area was equipped mainly for the beginners before going on other magnificent routes in the Todra gorges.

Return
The descent is possible by the right small gorge. By walking and three abseils it takes a "small hour". Otherwise walk along the ridge right up to the collar of the nomads.

Getting There

Just left over craft shops, coming out of the gorge towards Tamtatouch.
