Dhaulagiri trekking trail crosses French Col and Dhampus Pass with both passes over 5,000m in altitude. Dhaulagiri Circuit trek itinerary has a reputation for being one of the hardest in Nepal. Find out how difficult the Dhaulagiri ektr is in practice and how we plan the logistics for this challenging trek. If you prepare for the trip and know what to expect you will have an incredible experience. Trekking Dhaulagiri route explores a remote area in central Nepal. The trek starts through villages framed by views of the Dhaulagiri range. After Italian Base Camp, we walk through Chonbarden gorge towards Dhaulagiri Base Camp. We cross French Pass at an altitude of 5,360m into Hidden Valley and camp in Hidden Valley for two nights. Mount Dhaulagiri is the seventh highest mountain in the world at an altitude of 8,167m. It was first climbed along the northeast ridge in 1960 by a team of Swiss and Austrian mountaineers. On the day walk from Hidden Valley, you can explore this area with our trekking guides. Our recommendation is to ascend a ridge on the North-West side of the valley. From here there is superb views of Dhaulagiri, Tukuche, Nilgiris, and Annapurnas.

  • Ecuador Expedition – Equipment List © Copyright 2016, American Alpine Institute
    The Spirit of Alpinism www.AlpineInstitute.com [email protected] [email protected] Administrative Office: 360–671–1505 Equipment Shop: 360–671–1570 American Alpine Institute – Ecuador Expedition – Equipment List © Copyright 2016, American Alpine Institute Ecuador is named for its position on the Earth's equator, and certainly much of the country enjoys the tropical climate normally associated with that latitude. But the ascent of any of Ecuador's highest summits involves climbing into an alpine environment more comparable to Alaska than to the tropics. The range of temperatures that you will encounter on your trip is very large, so layering and versatility in your clothing choices will be very important. At lower elevations, temperatures can get up to 80°F (27°C), though this is not common. During acclimatization hikes and approaches to the mountains temperatures may range from 40F (4°C) to 75°F (24°C), but they are most commonly between 50°F (10°C) and 65°F (18°C). Summit temperatures on Cayambe, Cotopaxi, and Chimborazo usually range from 25°F to 45°F (-4°C to 7°C) but they can be as cold as 10°F (-12°C) and be accompanied by a strong wind. It is also important to note that while it is most likely that we will enjoy clear skies and lots of sun, we may also experience brief periods of significant rain or snow. With the climate changes that have occurred, this has become more common, especially in the last five years. So you can see why the key goals are layering and versatility.

  • NZ Winter Equipment Notes 2017-18
    NEW ZEALAND WINTER EQUIPMENT NOTES Due to the nature of the mountain environment, equipment and clothing must be suitable for its intended purpose. It must be light, remain effective when wet or iced, and dry easily. These notes will help you make informed choices, which will save you time and money. Bring along the mandatory clothing, wet weather gear and any equipment you already own that is on the equipment checklist. This gives you an opportunity to practice with your gear and equipment so that you become efficient at using it out in the field. Adventure Consultants is able to offer clients good prices on a range of clothing and equipment. Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance with making a purchase or advice on specific products. Body Wear There are numerous fabrics which are both water-resistant and breathable, such as Gore-Tex, Event, Polartec Neoshell, Pertex Shield and Entrant etc. These fabrics are expensive but can last for years if well looked after. Shell clothing should be seam sealed during the manufacturing process (tape sealed on the seams) or it will leak through the stitching. It also should be easy to move in and easy to put on and take off when wearing gloves or mitts. Shell clothing made of PVC or similar totally waterproof non-breathable material is not suitable, as moisture cannot escape when you are exerting energy, which results in getting wet from the inside out! Therefore, fabric breathability is very important when you are active in the mountains.

Modern skis and snowshoes are durable and easy to use, and the challenge of getting outdoors in winter is every bit as inviting. Combining vigorous exercise with agility and endurance, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing can be ideal additions to your physical fitness routine. Once you have mastered the basics, skis and snowshoes might become an essential part of your cold-weather camping gear, launching you into some of the best winter treks of your life. 355 33104-22.jo_iw 12/10/03 4:17 PM Page 356 22 Cross-Country Skiing Cross-country skiing is a magnificent means of winter travel. In recent years, skis for traveling cross-country have evolved dramatically. Many are intended for specific conditions of snow and terrain—groomed tracks, for example, or deep powder. Variations in length, width, shape, base, edge, and flexibility can make ski selection bewildering for a beginner. Fortunately, just about every ski shop will have people who can help you find the right skis in the correct size to match your activities and level of expertise.
