How can I find a local guide to take me safely up Mt Toubkal in Morocco? [closed] - Egg Omelet on Green Ceramic Plate

My partner and I will be visiting Morocco in late December and would like to hire a local and knowledgeable guide for climbing Mt Toubkal, who can also provide equipment (crampons, ice axe etc). Many of the sites I've found run longer tours (4-7 days) but we're only looking to do 2 days. I've heard you can just find guides when you arrive in the local town (Imlil) where the trek starts - but am not sure if this is true, or how to go about vetting their expertise.
