Start at first light
Begin the summit push early (pre-dawn) to avoid afternoon clouds and secure the best panoramic views.
Footwear with grip
Trails switch between compact dirt, rocky steps and muddy patches—sturdy trekking shoes with ankle support reduce slips.

Pack out waste
Camps are simple; bring a small trash bag to carry out all non-biodegradable items and leave the meadow clean.
Trekking shoes
Provide traction and ankle support on mixed rocky and muddy terrain.
Insulating layers (fleece/down)
Cold summit mornings and overnight camps need warm mid-layers.
