Important Notes
- Layered Clothing: Temperatures can vary greatly, from hot at the base to freezing at the summit. Dress in layers that you can add or remove depending on the conditions.
- Fitness and Preparation: While technical climbing skills are not required, good physical conditioning is important. Cardio, endurance, and leg strength training can help you better handle the demands of the climb.
- Summit Night Is Tough: The final ascent is long and strenuous, typically starting in the middle of the night. Be prepared for cold, exhaustion, and low oxygen levels.
- Hydrate Well: Drink 3-4 liters of water per day to avoid dehydration and help with altitude adjustment.
