Climbing the Toubkal summit is in no way an easy venture. It involves:
1. waking at 5 Am, when the sun is barely visible behind the mountain peaks



2. Walking on rubble , steep terrain, at altitudes (up to 4200 meters) which slow your breath and freeze your hands (which have the odd tendency to swell as the weather heats up and the pressure decreases!)



3. Raiding already empty "Hanuts" (small shops) for their remains of cookies, chocolates and mintless green tea!!


4. Contemplating your own weakness as you read the inscriptions of those courageous locals who climb the summit twice, thrice.. seven times, and write it in stone!



But we made it!
