Bring a headlamp
Start times are before dawn; a reliable headlamp keeps hands free on loose volcanic scree.
Wear grippy footwear
Sturdy hiking shoes with good tread reduce slipping on ash and pumice slopes.
Hydrate and eat lightly
Carry at least 1.5 liters of water and a small snack—altitude and a cold summit wind make you thirsty quickly.
Plan for limited cell service
Cell coverage is spotty—confirm pickup details with your operator and download meeting directions ahead of time.
Headlamp
Essential for pre-dawn starts and hands-free footing on the trail.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Firm grip and ankle support on loose volcanic scree and uneven steps.
Insulating layer
Light windproof jacket or fleece for cold summit winds after sunrise.
Reusable water bottle (1.5 L+)
Keeps you hydrated during the ascent and descent; refill after the hike.
