The third early start in a row with a 3:30 am alarm call for breakfast, pack and get ready to start walking at 4:45 (note the GPS time is BST which was 1 hour ahead of Moroccan time).
Today we climbed the third and final peak above 4,000m, well to be honest we took the opportunity to climb two further peaks over 4,000m, Timesguida Ouanoukrim (4,089m) and Ras Ouanoukrim (4,083m) (Ras Ouanoukrim had two separate summits, we did both!)! In order to reach the summit of Timesguida Ouanoukrim we had to do a bit of scrambling, thankfully the scrambling was relatively straight forward with no areas of exposure!
On completing the two summits we headed back to the camp at Toubkal base camp for lunch before heading further down the mountain to our next and final camp site of the trip!
