What happened when one Vogue writer went on the Equinox Explore trip in Morocco to hike Toubkal, the tallest mountain in North Africa.
I consider myself active. I’m an avid runner; I do an HIIT class from time to time; I try to stretch every morning. But I’m not a hiker—the most I’ve probably ever hiked was up to an ex-boyfriend’s fifth-floor walk-up when his elevator broke. But now I’m on a plane ride home with my legs extended at a 180-degree angle to relieve them of excruciating yet satisfying pain.
Trip prep wasn’t just about training, either. The detail-oriented team sent multiple emails leading up to the trip, including a questionnaire that asked me about my daily habits, from drinking to diet. The packing list—which I did not pay attention to and should have—was no joke. I was to bring a headlamp . There was altitude medication . Sunblock . Thankfully I didn't have to worry about hiking boots or jackets: Arcteryx supplied me with their latest wilderness-ready gear.
Jittery with anticipation and this newfound energy, I boarded the plane to Marrakech excited to finally take on the mountain that had motivated me during all these runs. We landed in Marrakech on a sunny May morning before driving to the picturesque, a hotel tucked in the Atlas Mountains. There, I met the smiling Charaf El Mansouri, a young U.S.-educated, Morocco native who had previously worked for Uber as an operations manager in London.
