1.5.5. Taraxa
- Summary:
-
19 routes in Crag
Lat / Long: 31.649573, -5.638444
- Jawad (Whatsapp: +212630699258) from the Auberge Traditional will be happy to host you and organise the approach to Taraxa. He can help you finding transport, donkeys and buying supplies.
- Buy your supplies in Tamtetoucht, to support the locals.
- Be friendly to the nomads you meet along the way, accept an offer for tea and bring small gifts like food.
- Keep the spring and camp clean! Soap and detergents in the water hurt the animals. Keep your things in the tent during the day so that nomads can bring their animals to drink at the spring undisturbed.
- Don’t put bolts in existing lines and don’t cross existing climbs.
- Make sure to leave Jawad a topo of your first ascent.
Übersicht
A beautiful secluded canyon, tucked away from the traffic and tourist that make Todra Canyon such a busy place.
Beschreibung
About 2km long and up to 6 six pitches high. The Rock quality ranges from very bad to very good. A great place for a few days of camping and trad climbing. For experienced trad climbers in limestone only.
Einschränkungen
make sure to contact Jawad before heading to the canyon. It's good if somebody from Tamtettouchte knows you are there.
Zustieg
At the dam's construction site, about two km south of Tamtettouchte, follow the wadi that leads to Taraxa. The canyon is about 2h walking time from the road.
Übernachtung
You will need to bring your own tent. Jawad can rent you one. Do not stay immediately near the well, as it will disturb the nomads.
Ethik
There's enough rock for everybody and all styles. In other words: do what you want, but don't put bolts in existing trad lines.
Geschichte
The climbing potential was discovered by Jawad, the owner of L'Auberge Traditionel of the nearby village Tamtattouchte. 2017: The first three lines are put up by Jonathan Isbecque and Rose Gallant. 2018: The next two lines are first ascended by Alfonso Usobiaga, Abdul Fadili and Luca De Giorgi 2019: 14 more lines are opened by Alfonso Usobiaga, Luca De Giorgi, Ben O'Neill, Gabriel Rossi, Katrina Robles, Peter Warasin and Armin Schwitzer.

1.5.7. Toubkal area
Übersicht
Mainly known for the popular Jebel Toubkal, a trekking summit, the area allegedly also hosts some alpine winter climbs.
Beschreibung
The Spanish map hanging in Refuge Mouflon suggests some climbing on the summits surrounding the hut (Tadat, Biiguinnoussene, Clochetons, Tadaft, Toubkal Ouest/ South face).
Einschränkungen
A guide is required when accessing from Imlil.
Zustieg
Usual start point is Imlil. You are required to hire a guide (350 - 500 Dhm / day). Three checkpoints and the refuge check that you are going with a guide. Apart from cleverly blending into the hordes, the checkpoints are hard if impossible to bypass. Hike up the valley along the heavily frequented path till the refuge.
Übernachtung
There a two refuges at the end of the valley: Refuge Toubkal Louis Neltner du CAF and Refuge Mouflon. The former is cheaper, the latter offers more space and more modern. Camping is allowed for a reduced fee close to the refuges.
