When taking such an intensive hike, you need to be prepared from hats to sunglasses. We will be listing gear to pack from head to toe:
HEAD
Baseball cap
Bring your favorite baseball cap for shelter from the blazing sun. No white under-brim—the reflection off of it from the sun is blinding.
Balaclava
We recommend a tight-fitting balaclava that is worn under your hat. Make sure that it covers as much skin as possible, but is comfortable enough to wear for hours.
Marmot: Lightweight Balaclava
Outdoor Research: PL 100 Balaclava
Polar fleece or wool hat
A warm, comfortable hat that covers your ears. Make sure that it fits well, and that one of your hats fits under a helmet.
Marmot: Summit hat
Patagonia: Big mountain beanie
Sunglasses
Should have very dark lenses (85%+ visible light blocked). Minimal light should come in below, above, or around the sides of the lenses. While traditional “glacier glasses” with leather/plastic side shields are not necessary, “bug-style” wraps are best. Ventilation is also important. Be sure to have a retainer strap (Chums or Croakies).
Kaenon: Rhino, Lewi
Julbo: Nomad, Explorer
Headlamp
L.E.D headlamps are recommended. Make sure they have 3+ bulbs. Bring extra batteries. We highly recommend a tilting lamp.
Petzl: Tikka® XP headlamp
Black Diamond: Spot LED Headlamp
