Sommet de Ighil N'mgoun Part 2
This is the most challenging part of the trip.
We started from Targueddit after waking up early. We took our breakfast quickly and we took our way. At 6 am, we started climbing progressively. the vegetation started to be scarce as we go up and the wind grew stronger.
This part is the hardest before reaching the ridge. At the ridge, we took our breath before resuming our walk at approximately 3700m highth. It was relatively less challengine but more dangerous because of the heavy wind. We succeeded to overcome many challenges before finally the wind grew cooler as we got close to the summit.
After reaching the peak (4071m), we admired the heavenly view with a sense of being in nowhere. We took many pictures and we had to leave quickly because the weather is not to be trusted at this spot.
The next destination was the valley of Oulilimt, it is a long walk down to one of the most wild places ever in this region. We passed by some natural geological shapes called the Hoodoos ( tent rocks), we kept moving along Oulilimt streams with rocky mountains to our sides.
At miday, we met our Multeer and we had a lunch break together at the first water source of Oulilimt. Along the way, we met some nomads herding hundereds of sheep and goats.
After an exaustive day of approximately 10 hours walk, we finally reached Aflafal. We set up our camp for the day and we wandered around to admire the freshness of a wonderful waterfall next to the bivouac. We had a photography session, we drank pure water before going back to our camp.We took a cold bath in the stream beside to refresh our bodies and relax. After a dinner, we enjoyed the view of stars in a clear sky before surrendering to sleep.
Enjoy
