Start early and layer up
Air at the summit can be near freezing before sunrise; bring a warm, windproof layer and gloves for the ridge.
Use a headlamp with spare batteries
The climb begins in darkness on steep, loose volcanic scree; hands-free light keeps the route visible and safer.
Footwear matters
Trail includes loose ash and rock—sturdy hiking shoes with good grip reduce slip risk on the ascent and descent.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Bring at least two liters of water; take regular short breaks and let guides set a steady tempo for the group.
Headlamp with fresh batteries
Hands-free illumination for the pre-dawn ascent and any low-light sections.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Closed shoes with good traction for loose volcanic scree and rocky trails.
Warm, windproof jacket
Summit winds and early-morning cold require an insulating outer layer.
Reusable water bottle or hydration bladder
Carry at least 2 liters to stay hydrated during the climb and after the summit meal.
