The alpine area is very changeable and unpredictable with weather. It could have rain, snow, fog or howling winds appearing without warning. It is also quite isolated, and if you need medical help, it may take some time to have medical help get to you (or to get you to medical help).When you take into account wind chill factor (google wind chill factor, it’s very eye-opening!!), and how your body temperature reacts to both getting wet from cold rain, or from being depleted of energy, then you will start to realise just how cold you can get out there.Although not mandatory, it is also recommended that you add sunscreen to your list of items in your pack. Of course, in a perfect world, you won’t need any of your mandatory gear (outside of nutrition and hydration), but it is in emergency situations that the gear will come into its own.

• Yes — weather varies dramatically. Ensure warm clothing is accessible.
