Acclimatize and hydrate
Increase fluid intake two days before the climb and sip frequently on the mountain — dehydration worsens altitude effects.
Layer for a wide temperature swing
Bring breathable base layers plus an insulated jacket; temperatures can drop well below freezing at night on the hut and summit.
Bring earplugs and patience for hut sleep
Mountain huts have narrow, shared sleeping areas and early wake times — earplugs and a calm attitude make the experience bearable.
Use trekking poles and steady pacing
Poles reduce knee strain on downhill scree and help conserve energy during the steep final ascent; adopt a slow, steady cadence.
Sturdy mountaineering boots
Support and traction on loose volcanic scree and stair-like sections.

Insulating down jacket
