Excerpts from Mountaineering in the Moroccan High Atlas book

Now that Des's book is available both as a hard copy and electronically, we plan to give you snippets of what's inside the covers by taking excerpts from the book and publishing this on our blog.

The book features 50 routes right across the range - i.e. one a week for a year! So starting this week and finishing in Spring 2012, you will be able to select your favourite routes to attempt on your visit to the High Atlas.

Approximately a quarter of the book is taken up with what we think(!) is invaluable advice and background info to help you with all the pre-trip planning. A lot of this information is already on our blog in prior articles but to save you time trawling through the entire blog, it's best to buy the book!
