What to Pack
|
                                  |
The following list is made for those clients, who intend to take part in my climbing programs at the first time, and don't know what to pack in the rucksack, in order that they could have the necessary equipments for the safety and comfort in the mountain.
Of course there are some obligatory equipments, which in no way, can be left out from the rucksack. According to my experience, most of the travelers start packing in the last minutes before setting off and forget to pack certain things. It would be very disappointing in a group if someone hadn't got all the required equipments and the other clients in the group must share those missing equipments with the inexperienced client.
Choosing the suitable equipments, you should take into consideration the followings:
how many days you are going to stay on the mountain,what is the difficulty of the route you are going to climb,in which season you are going to climb, (weather condition)elevation,where do want to stay the nights (hut, tent, bivouac)In accordance with the abovementioned factors you can choose your personal equipments from the undermentioned list in harmony with the requirement.
