Toubkal West in not as famous as its "bigger brother" Jebel Toubkal, because the highest mountain of North Africa is just one. On the other hand, Toubkal west is steeper, rockier and in my opinion more beautyfull mountain than Jebel Toubkal.
The easiest path to ascend is starting from Refuge du Toubkal in altitude of 3207 meters, then going almost straight to the east. After about one and half hour, when the trail is getting steeper, hold the trail to the Toubkal pass in about 3950 meters above sea level. Once you're in the pass turn right on the ridge to the summit (there are few animal trails on the side facing Jebel Toubkal). In the last part of ascend you will have to use your hands.
Beware of falling down, you wouldn't probably die, but be sure it will really hurt a lot. Also don't let the cache fall down, when logging.
The cache is hidden on the east side of mountain, climbing the west side can be dangerous without proper climbing equipment.
