| Items I wish I'd taken |
|
| |
A 'proper' headtorch would have made me feel better about Bears in the night, and would have been useful for walking in the dark. I only took minimal lighting as it was summer. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A higher spec Down jacket - the Halo top wasn't really warm enough for those altitudes |
|
| |
|
|
| |
UnderArmour leggings - to beef up the sleeping bag |
|
| |
|
|
| |
There's a case for taking a 3 season sleeping bag instead of the summerlite bag that I took - but with leggings and a better down jacket this may not be necessary - its one or the other. |
