No technical climbing skills are required; good fitness and high-altitude trekking experience are recommended.
Three meals daily on the mountain plus drinking water are provided by the operator; bring preferred snacks and electrolytes.
Guides monitor health and can slow the itinerary, recommend rest days, or arrange descent and medical care if needed.
