Your opinion needed: What to bring to climb the volcanos
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2006 3:32 pm
I'm going to be climbing the volcanos- Nevado de Toluca, Ixta, and Orizaba this December. I'm having my obsessive-compulsive gear dilemma: what to bring?
Should I bring a rope and harness? (If protection is needed, would I do best with pickets or ice screws?)
Would you rope up at all?
Avy stuff (shovel probe beacon)?
Water filter or tablets?
I usually bring way too much, even in the Cascades where I am familiar with the conditions.
How hard is it to find a Camp Assistant to watch the extra stuff back at camp?
