Mountain Equipment Required
We recommend the following individual equipment list for climbing expeditions. Your equipment will be checked by the guides before departure.
Please note: Whatever you bring in your luggage will be carried by a porter. Porters will only carry 20kg and no more so please make sure that this is all you have in weight. Basically, you will need to keep as warm and as dry as you can while climbing.
It is recommended that you wear layers of clothing which you can remove as you walk and heat up.
