Hi Everyone
A Couple of Friends and I are heading to Morocco in March for 10 days.
we planning to hike in Toubkal, and do mountain biking in the Atlas, climbing and bouldering in the south near Agadir
Can anyone advice on the following please ?

Hiring Mountain bike to do Expedition on the Atlas mountain
Good spots for bouldering and climbing (average 6a) ( is it possible to hire Bouldering Mat?)


Thank you

Sounds like fun.

There will, of course, be snow on the Atlas at that time of year. I'm not sure what level its likely to lie at, but it may affect your plans. Toubkal will be a winter walk, so ice and crampons. Not sure where you're intending to mountain bike, but if in the higher parts of the High Atlas, the passes may be blocked.

Thanks for the infos,

A friend just posted photos on Facebook from Toubkal summit a few days ago and there was a lot less snow around the area than I would have thought, at least compared to when I was there many years ago, though they still needed crampons and an axe. In March 1997 I was in knee-deep snow most of the way up.

If you have a look on my profile, I posted a question about Morocco, got some good replies about kit and who to talk to.
