This enormously long pass is another magnificent piece of Morocco that simply cannot be missed. Fully asphalted, this climb is even doable on 23/25mm tyres. Immediately on leaving Tinghir there is a short but steep uphill section. After that, the climb is mainly a slope that works its way up under merciful percentages for a very long time. However, that does not make the climb any less interesting. What follows is a succession of beautiful scenery, the sound of howling wolves and, of course, ... read more

This enormously long pass is another magnificent piece of Morocco that simply cannot be missed. Fully asphalted, this climb is even doable on 23/25mm tyres.

Immediately on leaving Tinghir there is a short but steep uphill section. After that, the climb is mainly a slope that works its way up under merciful percentages for a very long time. However, that does not make the climb any less interesting. What follows is a succession of beautiful scenery, the sound of howling wolves and, of course, the wonderful Gorge du Todgha. Despite the moderate percentages, the climb should not be underestimated. The length is enormous and on the open plains in the final part of the climb, where it does get steep, it can be enormously windy. Full 5 stars here too.

Deze enorm lange pas is nog zo'n schitterend stukje Marokko dat je eigenlijk gewoon niet mag missen. Geheel geasfalteerd is deze beklimming zelfs goed te doen op 23/25mm bandjes.

Gelijk bij het uitrijden van Tinghir volgt een kort, maar steil stukje bergop. Daarna is de klim voornamelijk een helling die zich voor zeer lange tijd onder barmhartige percentages omhoog werkt. Dat maakt de klim echter niet minder interessant. Wat volgt is een aaneenschakeling van mooie natuur, het geluid van huilende wolven en natuurlijk de wonderschone Gorge du Todgha. Ondanks de matige percentages moet de klim niet onderschat worden. De lengte is enorm en op de open vlaktes in het slot van de klim, waar het wel steil is, kan het enorm hard waaien. Ook hier de volle 5 sterren.
