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!

I hold the Mountaineering Instructor Certificate (MIC) and I'm a keen summer and winter climber. Originally from California, I lived in Morocco for ten years, most recently in the High Atlas mountain village of Imlil, and I'm currently based in the UK. I come alive in the mountains and love my role as a climbing and mountaineering instructor and seeing people equipped for their own adventures.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
