Other Guidance:
Climbers are reminded that there is a 15 kg limit on personal luggage for all climbs.
Cameras, whether video or film, need to be protected against the severe cold, either in a warm pouch or in the interior pockets of your clothing. Do not keep your camera in your backpack at higher elevations.
When between camps, please carry your daily personal rubbish to the next camp.
Remember - "Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints". So, keep the mountains clean and green.
Aspirins and Paracetamols are highly recommended for headaches, and because they also thin the blood, they help improve circulation and oxygen delivery to the body. Strong painkillers are not recommended, as they can suppress respiration.
