Comment on Mount Toubkal Winter Climb by Ian

Not a great deal compared with other similar mountains.

With cheap flights to Marrakech with airlines such as Easyjet, getting to Morocco isn’t expensive. There’s a variety of options whilst you’re there, ranging from UK based companies (I went with Exodus) to local companies or even an attempt yourself if you have previous experience in the UK/Alps in the snow.

Let me know if you want further details on any of the above to help plan your trip.

Love your site! Am a keen walker since the 70′s, now doing more valleys and passes than summits, depending on weather and companions. Now 62, and hoping to keep walking till I drop! Wonderful photos and videos – well done!

The third highest mountain in Africa is Mt Rwenzori in Uganda at 5,100m and not Mt Toubkal

I climbed Weissmiess twice, and while I am unsure I would recommend the 'normal' ascent (I found it boring) I too loved the SSE ridge - easy and fun! And a gorgeous view at the summit!

It was a toss up between these and Scarpa Manta boots for my new winter and alpine boots. I think the Nepals are a step up from what I need which is a B2 mountaineering crampon boot and the Manta fit me really well. Nice boots – custom insole is an interesting addition that I have never really considered. I’ve been lucky and boots have always fit well and been comfortable right out of the box, which is odd given my size 12/48 feet.
