How fit do I need to be?

If you can climb a ladder, you’re good to go. Being in good shape is always a plus but far from necessary. Rock climbing is all about using good movement technique rather than muscling up a cliff using brute strength. To ensure you have a fun day, your guide will choose routes that best suit your skill and fitness level. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned climber, there are great options for all skill levels.

What if I’ve never climbed before?

Todra Gorge has plenty of options for beginner climbers. Whether you’ve never climbed before or are transitioning from the gym to outdoor climbing, your guide will customize the day to suit your skill level and objectives. With a guide by your side, you’ll learn something new, stay safe on the rocks, and most importantly, have fun!

What about required equipment?

All technical climbing equipment will be provided by your guiding service. However, if you have your own gear, feel free to bring it. You’ll need: Helmet Harness with a locking carabiner, belay device, and chalk bag Ropes Rock shoes (included in the price, but we recommend bringing your own if you have them) Climbing hardware (quickdraws, cam devices, stoppers, etc.) Here’s a list of the equipment we suggest you bring: Day pack large enough to carry all the items listed (around a 40L bag) Water bottle Food you can eat on-the-go Toiletries (sunscreen, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.) Sunglasses Camera — optional Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.

Group sizes and age requirements

Group sizes and prices: This trip is not private, but the maximum guest-to-guide ratio is 2:1. Cost is per person and stays the same regardless of the number of participants. Climbing trips in Morocco’s Todra Gorge can be arranged for bigger groups. Contact us prior to booking. Min. age requirements: If you are older than 18, you’re good to go.

Amazing Climbing with Climb Morocco

My sincerest thank yous to Jay for being such a wonderful host and instructor on my recent trip to Morocco. We had an amazing three days in Todra Gorge. Jay did such a great job teaching us new skills as well as serving as cheering squad for the more difficult climbs. He also facilitated our stay at Les Amis, which served as a perfect respite in between days on the rocks. If you are on your way to Morocco and looking for the best in terms of guidance, knowledge and routes make sure to book with Climb Morocco.

Experienced and friendly guides!

Jay and Jeremy took our small group to the Todra Gorge. What an experience! These guys are professionals who know what they are talking about. They have a wonderful rapport with the local people which made the trip even that much more rewarding. They are very friendly guys who also speak the language fluently which was very helpful to me. I would love to return next year and climb the other locations they are recommending.

Awesome Yo

This was my first time climbing outdoors, and I’m a little upset that I started with the absolute greatest. Not only were we in such a great scenic place, the Todra Gorge, but we were in a country with just so much natural beauty and places to climb. My groups guides, Jay and Jeremy, were unbelievably knowledgeable in the area as well as the culture and language which made the trip that much more immersive. They were also amazing at rock climbing, offering great tips and choosing spots that catered to both the beginners, such as myself, and the more experienced climbers in our group. I highly recommend Climb Morocco for anyone looking to have a fun time, which everyone really wants, regardless of climbing experience. Trust me, you’ll love it.

Brilliant Climbing Experience!

Went climbing for the first time outdoors and I could not have drawn up a better experience. Jay and Jeremy are terrific guides with great skill, expertise, and knowledge of the sport and the country. I and some friends were in the Todra Gorge which had breathtaking scenery with great climbing spots for all skill levels. The accommodations set up while at the Gorge were also great which made for an even better stay. Overall, this was an incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone. If you are going to climb in Morocco, these are the guys to do it with!

Todra Gorge

Went on a group multi-day trip to the Todra Gorge and it was a blast! Jay and Jeremy are very experienced guides and I felt extremely safe the whole time. They have a great knowledge of the Gorge and connect well with the locals, and surprisingly speak very good arabic! We also helped Jay and Jeremy with a trash clean up of the Gorge which was greatly appreciated by the locals. I will definitely use their services again when I travel back to Morocco.

Pickling

Knowledgeable advice and lots of experience

Even seasoned climbers can use the kind of advice and assistance that Jeremy gave to us!
He offered advice and information when we were in the planning phase of our trip, and bought bus tickets for us before we arrived, hooked us up with someone who could advise on hotels, and came to meet with us before we left Marrakech to the Todra Gorge—bringing us a list of phrases and running over the (very rudimentary) local climbing guidebook with us. Above and beyond!
As guides in the US, we recognised his certification from a good organisation, and clearly see that he is psyched and knowledgeable about climbing, plus, he’s extremely conscientious, and speaks arabic!
Stellar!
