Plan and Prepare

• Research the trail thoroughly, including distance, difficulty, and current conditions.

• Inform a trusted person of your itinerary and expected return time; establish a check-in plan.

• Carry a map, compass, or GPS device and know how to use them; don’t rely solely on your phone’s signal.

• Review emergency procedures, including the location of nearby shelters and how to signal for help if needed.

Bring a Friend

• Risk Mitigation: Climbing with a partner allows for safer practices, such as belaying during technical ascents, spotting on tricky sections, and sharing the load of essential gear.

• Emergency Support: A partner can assist with injuries, administer first aid, or seek help in case of accidents or emergencies in remote areas.

• Navigation Assistance: Two people can cross-check maps, compasses, or GPS devices, reducing the risk of getting lost on complex or unfamiliar routes.
