Required Equipment
Required Equipment
- Helmet
- Ice Axe
- Hasty Harness and safety line
- Scrambling boots
- Comfortable clothes - similar to what you would hike in, but cotton is fine - we won't be going outside.
- Backpack - with enough gear in it so it weighs the same as you would carry on a cold day in the mountains. Sufficient weight to simulate real life is the key .
