At 4167m above sea level, Jebel Toubkal is the highest point in North Africa's High Atlas Mountains, which run for some 2500km through Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
The summer ascent via the normal route from Imlil is a non-technical climb, attempted by hundreds of hikers each year. Guides or porters are frequently employed to make the ascent more pleasant, and mules are readily available in the village of Imlil.
During the winter months, the summits around the Toubkal area offer superb mountaineering opportunities, including easily accessible, low-grade 4000m peaks in a non-glacial environment. Classic summer scrambles become serious mixed routes, and infernal summer screes become enjoyable slopes of perfect neve. Add to that some excellent Scottish-style ice gullies and you've got a winter climbing destination not to be missed!
