Go to Morocco. The climbing is awesome.
So, we've been climbing in the gorge now for several days. It has been the sick nasty. I've never seen so much rock in my entire life. Everything from sweet boulders to sick, hard single pitch climbs, and awesome 300m climbs. The rock here is some sort if limestone (I think), and it ranges from plentiful pockets to sharp sharp sharp crimps.
The first day we were here, we met a local guy named Hassan. In fact, we were introduced to him right away. Turns out he is the local bad-ass and he wrote the guide book. We of course bought one, and then he walked us through the book, pointing out the good climbs. Then, he took us to the crags and showed us the sweet climbs.
We got on a bunch of climbs ranging from 4+ to 6a+. All good. Next Matt and I did an eight pitch climb which was one of the greatest climbing moments of my life. Pictures to come. Tomorrow (in'shallah) we will do another 300m climb with Kasia. Word. Time for mint tea.
