What they wear
These guides are responsible not only for themselves, but also for the well-being of their guests and crew. The last thing they need to worry about is the clothes on their back, so we work tirelessly with them to create professional grade gear for all their expeditions.
Tips from Professional Mountain Guide, Sean
For a Mountain Madness guide, nothing beats being prepared. Below are some tips so you can trust in your gear, and yourself.
- Always carry a map, first aid kit and headlamp.
- Consult other hikers for up-to-date conditions.
- Layer up for warmth. Remove a layer if you get hot.
- Bring a summit treat!
- Tell someone your plan and when you’ll be back.
- When it’s raining, keep some layers dry in your pack.
- Bring a GPS with an SOS function.
- Go slow, it’s not a race.
- Drink ample water and have a purification system.
- Be willing to turn around if conditions become unsafe.
