What to Pack

Get a pack. Bring summer & winter clothes. One bag of stuff. A sleeping bag.  Water bottles. Day pack. Poles.


Tips & Insight

  • Use thermal layers as pajamas when it gets cold
  • Only used my sleeping bag twice at the highest elevations, otherwise used blankets provided.
  • Don't underestimate the sun
  • Running vest is a very packable option for a day pack
  • Dyneedma pouches were great for Passport & documents
  • Even when warm, I used liner socks under regular sport ankle socks -- didn't get blisters.  Other people loved my Compeed blister patches.
  • I brought one pair regular hiking pants, one pair Omni-heat lined.
