Climbing North Africa's Highest Mountain.. Toubkal, Morocco 🇲🇦


Mount Toubkal, or Jebel Toubkal, is the highest mountain in Morocco and North Africa and the summit sits at an elevation of 4167 metres. The summit attempt is a solid high level hike in summer but is far trickier in winter when temperatures near the peak can reach -15c and snow and ice is treacherous. I saw this challenge as a fitting next step…

  1. Thank you so much for this video. It is so useful. Congratulations for you, I'm going to do it May and I'm very excited as this will be my first high mountain. I will test my stamina in Snowdonia in Easter

  2. Great video and congratulations on getting to the top and back to Imlil in two days 👏. I am not an experienced hiker but I completed this trek in blistering heat in August 2023 with four pals but we spread it over three days. Imlil to Mouflon Refuge on Day 1, Summit and back down to refuge on Day 2 and refuge back to Imlil on Day 3. Challenging but perfectly achievable for five guys in their 50s and 60s.

  3. Well done Wendell! I attempted it in 2022 and had really bad altitude sickness and stomach and could not go beyond the refuge! also showed me how unfit I had become during Covid! I need to go back and do it now that I’ve lost 15kgs, gone fitter and faster and can easily hike 15kms a day! Although a bad knee has now surfaced. I hated the dorm experience and would defo book private room! Oh btw…. Those inflated crisps bags are due to them being filled with inert nitrogen to preserve freshness in hot countries and creates an anaerobic environment inside the pckaging . 🙂 btw, did you hire Mohammed privately?

  4. Well done but not showing the view from the top with camera was a bit disappointing just to take a few mins to show would of been amazing of the top but u r a nice guy thank you.

  5. Great achievement Mr & Mrs wendall,coming down is harder on your body than going up, in my opinion.
    I definitely missed out by viewing only your Cornwall based films.
    Thanks for sharing!

  6. Thanks Wendall i really enjoyed this Video really well filmed. Well done to you and Vicky. Spectacular views of the mountains such a beautiful place. Don’t think i could have done it. Think this was by far the best video you have done abroad.

  7. I was very much entertained and educated and left in awe at the stunning scenery and both of yours and Vicky’s efforts, well done and thank you for sharing your amazing trip.😊

  8. Thanks for the video Wendall. Never seen the mountains in Morocco, they look stunning. Personally I like these videos don't get me wrong I love the Cornwall content. Oddly this did not pop up like the other videos.

  9. Brilliant vid oli, love your Cornwall stuff. But this change is very welcome. If i ever see you in cornwall on my hols next summer i definitely owe you a beer for all the entertainment over the last year or so i have been watching 👍👍

  10. Wow, I never thought about snow in Morocco. Is this part of the Atlas mountains? I did a hike in the Rif mountains in 2020 but I've never been to this area. Have you noticed how nearly every guy in Morocco is called either Muhammad, Mustafa or Abdul?

  11. well done great video .i love the mountains we often go to austria around zell am see where they have austrias highest peak Grossglockner at 3,798 metres and the views are amazing
