Where a single supplement is available, paying for a single will only guarantee a room for single use. It does not necessarily mean a twin or double room will be provided for sole occupancy.

Please note that a member of the group may be allocated a single room by default if the make-up of the group means there isn’t anyone for them to share with. Paying the supplement in advance is the only way to guarantee a single room.

Crampons and Ice axes

Crampons and ice axes are provided locally (Camp Magix 10 crampons and Camp Neve axes) These will normally be issued in (or before) Aroumnd.

3 – 4 season walking boots

All crampons must be fitted to an appropriate boot. Fitting a pair of crampons to an insufficiently sturdy or rigid boot can lead to crampons coming loose, and accidents. The crampons required for this trip are C1 crampons (entry-level mountain crampons). A C1 crampon should be fitted to a B1 boot. A B1 boot is a 3 to 4-season walking boot with a rigid or semi-rigid sole, and good (high and stiff) ankle support. The guides will check all participant’s boots before the trek to confirm they are compatible with the crampons to be used.
