Fun fact-the Anti-Atlas Mountains are actually an extension of the Appalachian Mountains in North America. They were the same mountain range back in the Triassic, forming a long strip in central Pangaea. After the supercontinent broke apart, the Anti-Atlas went with what is now Africa while the rest of the Appalachians drifted west with the landmass that would become North America. They are totally different climactically, topographically, and culturally today, but geologically you can find a lot of similarities. I hope you enjoyed your adventure! 🧗
Heya Hayven many thanks for taking the time to post the interesting geological facts. Anyway I very much enjoyed my adventure in belle Maroc and I hope you enjoyed my wee video! :-) Cheers Dave
Hey Krag Rags many thanks for taking the time to post and glad you enjoyed my wee video! Yeah it was worth dragging a Go Pole to the top of the Tusker Pinnacle for that shot as it is a pretty cool and exposed place to be... :-) Cheers Dave
A winter sun rock climbing trip in January 2015 with the Usual Suspects to visit the superlative Anti-Atlas region of Morocco to sample the world class Trad climbing on offer. There are more fantastic 3* classics to last several lifetimes and a gazillion acres of virgin rock for any new routers out there! Anyway the entertainment was duly recorded so here is a short HD video featuring the amazing Kasbah Tizourgane which is THE place to stay, climbing on the Tusker Pinnacle (the Anti-Atlas equivalent of the Napes Needle) plus the golden sun-kissed White Dome Towers and a smorgasbord of flora and fauna including those crazy caprine tree-climbing goats! :-) Cheers Dave
