Another successful trek to the 4167m summit of Toubkal.
The conditons in large were favourable, however we did experience the odd moment of rain, hail and a random flock of sheep near the summit cheering us on!
Everyone showed great teamwork throughout, supporting and encouraging each other to make sure we had plenty of laughs along the way.

On Monday we headed to the Lake District to try a grab some last minute winter climbing before the end of this cold period.
From Glenridding, we headed up into Red Tarn to the cliffs of Helvellyn. It was noticeably warmer and we choose to ascend 'Gully 2'.
We descended along Striding Edge, which itself is fun in the summer let alone the winter, back into Glenridding.
If you would like to gain the knowledge and skills to be able to safely journey into the mountains in the winter then please drop us a message.
