Stay Safe

  • Be aware of how dangerous the mountain can be during bad weather. Don't climb the rock surface during thunderstorms.
  • It's best to have a climbing partner, especially in large groups which can string out as stragglers get left behind.
  • Dress appropriately. Make sure other people can see you. Camouflage is not encouraged.
  • Bring a torch (flashlight). Make sure it does not fall out of your unzipped pocket as you climb along. Better still, use a headlamp so that your hands can be free.
  • Coming down can be more painful (especially on the knees) than climbing up because of sore muscles and tired legs. Take it slowly and don't jam the toes into the front of the shoes. Experienced guides will literally skip and sprint down the mountain, but only those who are second-cousins to billy goats should try this.
  • Bringing along muscular ache relief cream and knee or ankle supports may be helpful.
  • It's better for you to do 'Cooling Down' right after the hike.
  • Consider climbing with an experienced guide.
