Itinerary description
EN: (taken in January during longterm clear sky! Not sure if its safe during rain/snow
Route from imlil, based on pablo's montoya trail, but probably opposite direction and at the end from tamatert i have chosen a nice asphalt walk during sunset to imlil, got lost twice, its mabe visible on the map, first when leaving imlil to ikkis (beware, the route is sometimes hard to find, and its probably the hardest part of the trail) and then in ikkis when i was crossing the river.

Very difficult
Definitely not moderate! Tried it yesterday (beautiful day in August with perfect weather conditions). The trail was clearly visible for the first 1.5km then it became really dangerous so we had to stop and go back (no path/trail, dangerous zones).
We walked this in reverse. The trail from the village on the north side was incredibly slight. Lots of rough terrain with a thin shingle track. Some worrying climbs and even more worrying scrambles down. This is anything but easy. We would suggest following anti clockwise and making your way down to the village but then turn back. Don’t take this route in bad weather. Be prepared to have to hold onto rocks. The path at times is less than 30cm wide.

Moderate
Well, most probably I will disagree with previous comments. I did this track in opposite direction with kids. It's definitely moderate due to length and last 3.3 km in our way, but otherwise it was quite nice.
In opposite way, first section up from Imlil is a bit hard, but technically quite easy. It's better to do it in the morning, while it's not so hot.
I lost the track on river bed. Most probably there should be a track, but one section is quite invisible 😀. But this was not an issue in our case, we took a nice track on another side of river. It's well mapped in maps me.
First half of last 3.3 km is a bit complicated. Track is narrow, sometimes very steep and covered with dusty gravel (read slippery), but for hikers with some experience it won't be an issue. Last part of 3.3 km was easy. It was newly built track in 03/2023.
