I spent 3 weeks at Todra in November 2004. Fantastic. If you're climbing 19 trad at Arapiles you'll be fine. All of the different sections of Todra have been developed by people from different parts of the world. There's a spot developed by a bunch of Welsh many years ago where the bolts are about 6 metres apart, and then there's the 6B+ multi-pitch bolted routes put up by some Italians where you can almost reach from one bolt to the next! Take a small rack and double 60's for rap descent and you'll have a ball. Transport's is easy and ...interesting. People are fantastic, but being dragged into a carpet shop every five minutes does wear a bit thin. The Moroccans are the most persistent salespeople I've seen. Somebody once told me that in India there's a hundred guys trying to sell you something; in Morocco, there's one. But dealing with that one is worse than the one hundred in India. Enjoy the trip.
