Your Itinerary:
Day 1: Walk from your base hotel to the Meteorological Station located at 3050 meters (at least a 5 hour walk).
Day 2: Depart early in the morning heading for Mackinders Hut located at 4175 meters. Arrival should be by lunchtime.
Day 3: Acclimatization with accommodation at Mackinders. Things to do on this day include exploring tarns and glacial valleys.
Day 4: Leave Mackinder’s Camp by 3 in the morning. Arrival at the summit will be in time for sunrise. Descend back down the mountain arriving at your base hotel by early evening.
Equipment required: All climbers should attempt to bring as much as possible of the following: anorak, mittens, balaclava (ski-masks), snow goggles or ski sunglasses, scarf, 3 pairs of warm trousers, sweaters, 6 pairs of warm socks, thermal underwear, waterproof layer, sun proof hat, comfortable boots, sun cream, small first aid kit, day pack, torch plus spare battery, and water bottle(s) with 2 liter capacity.
Suggested medicines: headache tablets (preferably not aspirin since this tends to irritate stomachs already sensitive at altitude), Imodium/Lomotil for diarrhea sometimes associated with altitude. Climbers may like to consult their physicians about acetazolamide (Diamox), a drug that many find mitigates the ill effects of altitude, headache, diarrhea and vomiting.
Tipping: It is customary for satisfied climbers to tip guides and porters. Amounts given are entirely within the discretion of the guest. As a general guideline, however, guests are advised to budget $ 50-100 each for this purpose. The amount per guest tends to be larger the smaller the group.
