Hydrate for a long day
Bring at least 2 liters of water and a refill container—sun and exertion on exposed pitches dehydrate quickly.
Footwear matters
Wear stiff-soled approach shoes or light hiking boots for the trail and sticky climbing shoes for the crag.
Communicate health limits
Tell the guide about any heart, back, or pregnancy concerns during booking so routes can be adjusted.
Morning sessions are calmer
Book early to avoid thermal winds and to get cleaner light for route reading and photos.
Approach shoes or light hiking boots
Sturdy soles and ankle support make the trail and rocky approaches easier and safer.
Personal water bottle (insulated)
Keeps you hydrated all day and reduces plastic waste on the mountain.

Sun hat and sunscreen
