Brings back memories. You did a lot of the stuff Dave and I did in 2014.including White tower, lion King, pink lady, Tizgut, etc. We put up about 6 new routes in Palm Tree Gorge, and quite a few elsewhere. We decided the author of the guidebook wasn't that good at Jambing, so the grades on cracks were quite soft.
Of note there is competing guide books, and hundreds of new routes going in all the time. After 2 1/2 weeks in Tafrout and the Kasbah we went to Todra gorge. Taghia gorge is the other good place but we didn't get there.
We did the 1000m ascent of Jebel el Kest which was a great day out ( lots of soloing)

The rock quality is generally great, but varies from crag to crag with weathering. Some of the faces can be a bit flaky, and there is the risk of loose blocks like everywhere. Moonarie like in places.
We used small cams and RPs quite a bit, in addition to a full double rack. Many 50 m pitches.

Highly recommended if you like trad climbing.
