Description:
Michi Wohlleben: 'Together with my girlfriend I was in the Taghia gorge in Morocco for 12 days. After some easy entry routes, we met the Spaniard Toni Arbones while looking for a topo. He recommended a new route at Tadrarate, a wall about 3h away from Taghia. Toni says: 'It might be the hardest and most sustained route in the valley and is the last route from Kurt Albert.' The fact that it was Kurt Albert's last route motivated me a lot. For me he was always a hero as a child and I still admire his actions today! And now I had the opportunity to try one of his last creations. The next day we wanted to check the approach first and check the first 7 pitches, since the 7th was the key pitch. I managed all of them onsight up to 8a and we rappelled down and walked back to Taghia.
