 Tips :

  1. If you feel like buying your equipment, do only after getting expert advise/ research. It’s better to borrow first and test fit the equipment. Investment is big so we want value for our money.
  2. Buy/ bring equipment that is light, sturdy and multi purpose but be sure everything is useful.
  3. As you upgrade your equipment, invest on real mountaineering and high quality products since it’s your comfort and security that is at stake.
  4. Go hi-tech but minimalist at the same time.
  5. Waterproof your equipment by using plastic liners for your backpack.
