Tips for visiting mountains

🌑️

Layer for three climates

A 1,000 m climb can take you through summer, autumn and winter in one day. Plan for all three.

πŸ’¨

Weather wins arguments

Turn back if the forecast turns. The summit will be there next year β€” you may not be if you push on.

πŸ’Š

Altitude is non-negotiable

Above ~2,500 m, go slow, hydrate hard and know the signs of AMS.

πŸ“

Tell someone your plan

Always leave a route + return time with someone off-mountain.
