Dispatch from the High Atlas
I just received a text from Addie: "We just returned to Imin Ouassif after 2 days of hiking! Made it through rain and hail to Toubkal Refuge but a combo of weather, fatigue, and lack of gear prevented a group summit. Katie Seckman did the summit at 5:30am [!]...group is tired and sore but healthy!" Hopefully, more pleasant weather awaits al-Jimal at lower altitudes of the trek. Congrats to co-leader Katie for the successful ascent. If I receive any photos or additional messages during their trek, I will post. Below is a photo of Mount Toubkal to provide some context:

Yay, Katie! 5:30 a.m.??
