A new 7 Summits Club group has started climbing Mount Toubkal in Morocco. The local name was chosen: "Tajine"
Olga Rumyantseva, the 7 Summits Club guide, sends the following message from sunny Morocco:
Greetings to everyone from sunny and hot Morocco! Our large 7 Summits Club team has gathered here today. Thirteen participants from different cities and countries have come to Marrakesh to get to know this beautiful country and climb the highest mountain in North Africa, Jebel Toubkal.
This time, there are many young participants in the group who came with their parents to try climbing for the first time and test themselves at altitude. The youngest participant is 9 years old.
Since the age range in the group is very large, I suggested calling the team "Pioneers and Pensioners". But the name "Tajine" won by a small margin. This is a national dish in Morocco. Very tasty and hot. I hope that our adventures will be the same.
Today we all got acquainted, all the participants received gifts from the 7 Summits Club, walked along the streets of Marrakech. And tomorrow morning we will leave for the mountains to climb Toubkal.
