Tafroute area villages
With Chris on a new route above a remote village
Perhaps the most famous of the rock faces in the Tafroute area "The Lions Face" above the small village of Assgaour.First ascended by Paul Ross and Les Brown in March 1995. The route over a 1000'at about 5.8+ takes a line up the center of the face.In the evening light the lions face is very prominent.
Not Joe Bloggs ..but Joe Brown and Chris Bonington in the Hotel les Amandiers ..the nicest place to stay in Tafroute ...the only hotel with a bar !

Massive unclimbed crags and walls such as this are found all over the Anti-Atlas mountains . Here Andy Ross takes off on what turned out to be a 5.10 climb.
