Maybe include altitude in both metres and feet, otherwise 80% of comments will be about that whole discussion.

    Jebel Toubkal in Morocco, 4,167m (13,671ft), the highest mountain in north Africa. We were on a two-week trek in the Atlas range, so quite well acclimatised. Stayed overnight in the Neltner hut and started the ascent early in the morning. There was quite a bit snow, despite it being summer, but only a little at the summit itself. Fantastic view of the Atlas Mountains. The descent was quicker, in part due to us sliding down one big snowfield on our bums. A meal was ready for us when we got back to the hut, from memory in the mid-afternoon, but I had no appetite, too tired. We went up to the bunk room and rested. A very satisfying day.
