Atlas mountains
 
Winter 2007 trip to the High Atlas mountains with usual suspects. Despite the relative lack of height , a considerably harder option than Kilimanjaro Taking in Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa and Ouanoukrim, the climbing was technically easy but with some exposure.

Toubkal summit - pity about the view.
 
Back to Marrakech for some navigation exercises in the soukh (satnav really useful) along with haggling and beer - Ice Cold in Alex sprang to mind.
