Toubkal



I've not had much time to update the blog since returning from Morocco.
Here's a quick update.

Our January Toubkal Winter Climb was superb trip, We had perfect conditions for the trek, it felt like spring time in the Atlas and the snow was in great nic for summiting Toubkal.
After a night in Marrkech, we headed off early to the village of Imlil where we started our trek.

The snowline was 2800mt which made things alot easier to get our supplies to the refuge.
Our first day in the Mizane Valley was an acclimatisation day while learning winter skills, everyone got into glasading down the valley which continued to be the theme for week.

The following day we summited Toubkal and another stunning day with blue skies, again more glasading down into the refuge in time for more mint tea and cake.
The following two days were spent exploring the High Atlas and enjoying the winter sun.



Then finally back down to Marrakech and a cold beer !
