A short tour to a distinctive small summit by the road. Suitable for rest days or uncertain weather. Either as a scramble through the ramps in the north face or easier as a short hike via the marked descent path.

If you travel from Tafraout on the R104 for 12 km east, you will see an impressive small summit rising on the left. It can be climbed quite easily (T3+) from the northeast side or, more interesting and significantly more demanding (III-, T5), via a ramp system on the north side. The tour can be done as a round trip in under two hours without problems and is therefore suitable for uncertain weather or for easy rest days.
Author’s recommendation
Due to the north-facing aspect and the short length, also suitable for hot days

Safety information
The tour is very short and more or less next to the road. Still, caution is of course necessary. The path over the ramps requires sure-footedness and solid scrambling ability - secure yourself at the two or three tricky spots if in doubt.Roadbook
Cross the road and ascend towards SSW, aiming roughly for the middle of the steep north face. Once at its base, climb up a bit to reach ledges. Traverse left along the ledges and then ascend a ramp that ultimately leads to flatter terrain. Now turn right and engage in pleasant scrambling up the ramp to the right. You will reach a distinctive, exposed ledge on which you traverse right. At a weak point, cross over the rock bulge and now keep left again in nice but exposed scrambling to the summit.
The descent leads over the northeast side and is quite easy with T3+ (see track)
