Pere Renom

“We gave you no fixed place, no form of your own, nor any assigned task, O Adam, so that by your own choice you might possess the place, the image, and the role you desire; neither heavenly nor earthly, neither mortal nor immortal did we make you, but free to shape yourself in the form you prefer, as your own maker and sculptor.”

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

Talk: Toubkal, ascension to the highest peak of Atlas

published on 8.03.2012

The Toubkal with its 4,167 meters is the highest peak of Atlas. Pere Renom rose to the top together with Jordi Renom and Marc Durà on December 30, 2011 and recounted the experience in the Hiking Centre Badalona. In the talk he explained the technical and logistical aspects of the ascension, such as the approach, the path, the planning stages, weather conditions or the material used. But he also included some observations on the landscape of the Atlas, the ethnography and culture of Berber, and a description of the city of Marrakech, where the expedition ended.
