Services
Service 1
We help to pack -in correctly and the mountain is a manageable adventure. Pack wrong and it becomes a miserable ordeal.
Service 2
We also provide the essentials for the climbing like:
Base layer (next to skin)
2× moisture-wicking long-sleeve tops (merino wool or synthetic - not cotton)
2× moisture-wicking long underwear bottoms
3-4× moisture-wicking hiking socks (wool blend)
Lightweight liner gloves
Lightweight balaclava or buff
Cotton kills at altitude - it retains moisture and provides no insulation when wet. Leave it at home.
Mid layer (insulation)
Fleece jacket or lightweight down jacket (200-300g insulation)
Softshell or insulated trousers for cold mornings and evenings.
Service 3
Footwear & Sleeping gear.
Hiking boots
Waterproof ankle-support hiking boots - already broken in before your trek
Trail runners are acceptable for dry conditions on Sirimon, but boots are strongly preferred
Sleeping bag rated to -10°C - non-negotiable. Shipton's Camp regularly drops to -5°C to -10°C at night.
Sleeping bag liner (adds 3-5°C warmth and keeps your bag clean)
