We provide the technical safety equipment for walking on ice such as crampons, harnesses, helmets and ice axes. We expect you to bring a waterproof jacket and waterproof pants (not water resistant) and you MUST have waterproof hiking boots. Jeans are not appropriate. You can not wear sneakers or soft shoes, these will not fit with the crampons we provide. Staying warm is very important but staying dry is paramount. Denim and cotton do not do well in wet weather, as they do not dry and make you extremely cold very quickly. If you are unable to bring the waterproof jackets, pants or boots please then we do offer these for hire. Please contact us ahead of your tour to organise rental gear. A water bottle, snacks, spare warm clothes, wool hat and gloves are also recommended.
