Bring enough water
The route is exposed on the ridge and water sources are scarce—carry at least 1.5–2 L per person.
Wear grippy footwear
Stony macadam and packed dirt demand shoes with good traction—light hiking boots or approach shoes work best.
Use hiking poles for descents
The Jegorov path has loose sections; poles reduce strain on knees and improve balance.
Start early or late in season
Coastal sun can be intense in summer—begin before 09:00 or visit between November and June for milder conditions.
Hiking shoes with good tread
Provides traction on macadam, loose limestone, and rocky paths.
1.5–2 L water or hydration reservoir
Keeps you hydrated on exposed ridge sections where water isn’t available.
Light windproof layer and sun hat
Protects against coastal wind and variable mountain-to-sea temperatures.
Hiking poles
Useful for stability on steep descents and loose trail sections; often provided by the operator.
