Clothing Prepare for cool, wet and windy weather. Dress in layers. Wool, pile or other non-absorbent synthetic insulation is preferable to cotton or down. Hat and gloves are advisable. Raingear Rain parkas and pants, or chaps over lightweight wool or polypropylene clothing are effective combinations.
Weather is unpredictable and changes quickly.
Tent Your shelter should have a waterproof floor, rain fly, and protection from mosquitoes. Double wrap in plastic. Map and Compass Topographic maps are available at the park visitor center bookstores. Emergency Gear Bring waterproof matches or lighter, first aid kit, knife, and a signaling device such as a whistle, light or flare. Groups heading for other peaks are urged to register.
