Tracking your Friends and Family as They Climb Toubkal
The vast majority of our climbers have loved ones back home who are concerned about their safety and happiness while away in Africa. For family and friends of a climber it can be worrying to imagine them struggling against altitude, the elements, and objective risks associated with climbing a mountain, and to have no information or updates about how they are faring. It is with these concerns in mind that we have developed a system of live-time reporting - complete with photos - sent directly from the mountain.
Choosing to Climb with Team Toubkal
We understand that a very significant factor in the decision of many adventurers to climb Toubkal with us is that we control everything directly ourselves, not relying on any middlemen or local tour operators to dilute the integrity of sometimes very sensitive and specific information as it passes down through the chain of command.
Consequently, our climbers expect near-perfect communication between management and our staff on the ground on Toubkal, and swift and ready access to information pertaining to all aspects of their booking.
While we believe that the nature of Team Toubkal's operational structure affords us a very great advantage in this sense, we would however, like to caution climbers that they should please understand the limitations of the hardware that we use on Toubkal, and - more significantly - the limitations of the cellular network provider to supply consistent signal across the mountain.
With such concerns in mind, we would suggest that while climbers may rightly expect TT to enjoy the highest standards of communication realistically available, we regret that such are the objective limitations that lie outside our control, that climbers should certainly not base their decision to climb with us on the assumption that we will unfailingly be capable of providing photographs of their climb sent in live-time direct from the mountain on every day of their climb.
