When you book a climb with us you will receive a detailed equipment list from us outlining everything you will need. Items are marked if they are essential, so it is easy to distinguish between them and extra or luxury additional items.
Briefly, you will need to bring sturdy and comfortable hiking boots (preferably ones that protect the ankles), all the clothes that you require, a day pack (so that you can carry items you need during the day such as rain gear, your valuables, camera, phone, a snack, water bottles or Camelbak etc), and 2 duffels or bags to contain everything that you will not have with you during the day while hiking.
You need 2 duffels because one is for items that you do not need on the climb (such as items for travelling to and from Africa and to use during a safari). This bag is stored while you are on the climb and delivered to you when you finish the climb. The second duffel is carried by the porter who carries your gear while on the climb. This will contain everything that you do not need during the day. It will include your sleeping bag and sleeping mat (even though we supply these). It will also include items that you need to bring for the climb such as extra clothes, comfortable footwear to wear in camp, a towel, flashlight, spare batteries, perhaps an ipad, or games such as a deck or cards, and any personal health items such as medications.
