    Not far from the little village of Tagdicht rises this beautiful ridge, which offers simple but magnificent climbing on mostly very good rock.

    Although the route leads only to a rather unremarkable summit on the ridge—which then occasionally disappears into the slope—the climb up to that point is quite challenging and is likely one of the most beautiful easy ridge climbs even a seasoned climber has ever done. You’ll find very good, solid rock almost throughout, in all sorts of shades of brown, ochre, and red. You have to place your own protection, but with a little experience, this is easily manageable. The approach is relatively short; the descent is admittedly a bit tedious but without any major obstacles. The route itself has about 24 pitches, which promises a long day on the mountain.

    Safety information

    The route shows almost no signs of previous climbers and, despite the general route line, allows for several variations. This means you have to find and secure the best line yourself. Therefore, alpine experience is essential, despite the low climbing difficulty. Escape routes from the ridge are difficult to access. If something goes wrong, you’re on your own.

    Roadbook

    Shortly before Ait Omgas, turn right off RP1925 and follow the narrow road through numerous switchbacks and along the hillside to the village of Tagdicht. Drive through the village and park after a long, sharp left turn. Today’s destination is already clearly visible. Hike northward along trails and terraces, cross a gully, and make your way over boulder-strewn terrain to the start of a massive ramp.

    The route now follows the right edge of the ramp, then a ridge to large ledges. You climb over the subsequent rise to get back onto the ridge. Continue along the ridge, or take a path to the left of it through a dihedral to the next ledge. After that, the crux pitch leads up to the left onto the continuation of the ridge. The rest of the route follows the ridge more or less directly, though you’ll need to pay attention to finding the best line between ridges and dihedrals. After about 20 pitches, you reach a saddle, where you descend by keeping to the right. A few pitches later, you reach the rather unspectacular summit. The descent involves scrambling down gullies and boulders, then a somewhat arduous route—mostly staying close to the rocks—over boulders, scree, and bushes back to the starting point.
