Hello there!
Sidi Chamharouch
Lunch break in Sidi Chamharouch.
Approach in La Sportivas might not be the easiest option, but they will come really useful tomorrow.
I am sure now they are plotting to kill us.
The truth is though, we haven't known about all that devil stuff back then.
Neltner Toubkal Refuge (3,200 m)
We're coming from France, so we're staying in French refuge.
Deal with it.
Our refuge friends.

That was a really fast hike back down to Imlil to make it for our 18:00 grand taxi. But we did make it exactly for 18:00. Even if dog-tired.
Marrakesh
Half dead in Marrakesh.
Still enough power for hotel lobby and Moroccan tea.
