In April 2013 German climbers Roland Hemetzberger and Fabian Hagenauer spent 5 days establishing Tabula Rasa. All pitches, except the first, were forged ground-up; the starting pitch was bolted from above seeing that the first belay can accessed easily from the side.
Getting there
From Marrakech reach Taghia.
AccessParoi de la Cascade: Tabula Rasa takes a line circa 50m to the right of Babybel and 100m to the right Walou Bass through a spectacular, steep section of the face.

While all belays are bolt protected, due to the long run-outs Tabula Rasa should be considered "a modern alpine sports climb."
