Tammayurt means 'full moon' in bereber. If you ever watch the moon rise along the arete you'll understand...

_3 Tamayyurt 6b
Wait for the sunset and climb on sandy and loose rock if you want to pay the prize of unforgettable pictures on this photogenic arete, it's really worth it! [Palan & Talo Martín & Kathi Urch, 2007] Quickdraws

26_Amalu Wall

Amalu means 'shade' in bereber, what better name for this fresh wall!

_1 Living like shadows 7a ***
Avoids the arete almost 'til the lip, easiest option for warming up in this breathtaking wall. [Palan & Talo Martín & Kathi Urch, 2007] Quickdraws
_2 Ninja bereber 7b ***
Superb holes and crimps in a beautifully varnished slab with a crux near to the top, indispensable. [Talo & Palan Martín & Kathi Urch, 2007] Quickdraws
_3 Morocco Airlines 7c ***
Impressive line! Creeps through crimps, catching some air after the crux. One of the best routes at Tafraout! [Palan & Talo Martín & Kathi Urch, 2007] Quickdraws

27_Painted Rocks

Blue Painted Rocks

_1 Azules de Vergara 5+
Medium-sized crack on a blue painted slab with two thorny bushes at the middle. 3 bolts along the crack and 2 more at the anchors. [Miguel Ángel Lozano & Juan Luis Monge, 1996] Cams









Black Painted Rocks

_1 Negro azabache 7a+ *
A beatiful fist-to-hand crack through a black painted slightly overhanging boulder, not to be missed. [Miguel Ángel Lozano & Juan Luis Monge, 1996] Cams
_2 Negro azabache (Sit start) 7c *
The harder version! Starting from the very bottom of the fist crack roof. Tape yourself and be ready for the slippery painting inside the crack, can be annoying. [Miguel Ángel Lozano & Juan Luis Monge, 1996] No additional gear
