High Atlas — Imlil
Afella, 4 043 m — three days
The third peak on the Ouanoukrim ridge and the one almost nobody asks for. Afella is a long day of loose ground and steady scrambling from the Tizi n'Ouagane — for people who have already done Toubkal and want the massif without the queue.

Day by day
- Day 1 5–6 h 3 207 m
Imlil to the refuge
Mizane valley approach to the Toubkal refuges, arriving early enough to rest properly.
- Day 2 9–10 h 4 043 m
Tizi n'Ouagane and the Afella ridge
Up the Ouanoukrim cirque to the pass, then south-west onto Afella. The rock is looser than on Timesguida and route-finding matters — helmets on. Timesguida can be added on the way back if the group is moving well and the weather holds.
- Day 3 4–5 h 1 740 m
Refuge to Imlil
Descent of the Mizane valley to Imlil and the transfer back to Marrakech.
