EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES

Pack only what is on this list, no more and no less.

Food - All food will be provided upon arrival. Do not bring any snacks.

Pack heavy things close to your back. Have your warm layers & blister plasters accessible.

Clothes to hike in must not be cotton, these absorb moisture keeping you wet & cold which can be dangerous in the mountains.

It will be cold at night, make sure you have enough to keep you warm.

If you did not sign up with a team you will be assigned one and can organise group kit then.

Any travel clothes or items can be left in vehicles on location.

Equipment Tip: Try to borrow items you do not already have, unless you know you will use the equipment more than one time.
