Description

Also known as Vallee de Gagou, this area is home to about 50 sport routes and a few old trad ascents. Almost all the climbing faces NW and gets all day shade in the winter, and afternoons in the sun in the summer and fall. Currently grade range is 5.3 to 5.12a, but majority of the routes are 5.9-5.11.

Falcons have been known to nest here from March through July and it is recommended to avoid routes with obvious falcon activity.

Getting There

Halfway between Casablanca and Marrakech. Access requires renting a car or booking a shuttle. As far as I know the only available shuttle is with Climb Morocco based in Marrakech.
