4am alarm call for a 5am start. The ski-jackets finally came into their own in the cold of the early morning at altitude.
We made the long, slow ascent up interminable scree and reached the summit of Mount Toubkal (4167m) about 9.30am.
Somewhat perversely, Jenny found going down tougher than going up (Mark's view being the opposite, probably as a result of him lugging up more weight owing to his podgy gut!)
As on Monday, Jenny used up her full 2 litre camel pack of water, something to bear in mind for our trip to Kilimanjaro - so a useful learning experience. We were both glad to reach the refuge again by lunchtime and have a long cold drink in the shade.
After lunch we broke camp and made the long descend back to Aroumd. And yes, those hot showers again.
