The most important rule is keep your pack light. Any extra pounds will be quickly felt as the hill grows steeper and the day longer. Hopefully, you will also be packing 80 pounds of incredible meat plus the cape and horns of a trophy ram when you leave.
Always check with your Guide/Outfitter as to what to bring because they may include some of the equipment on this list.
