This is a land of huge conical craters, great summit ridges and spectacular views. The last of the significant snowfalls at the end of the rainy season conclude during October.

Wind chill rating: Medium

Summating is relatively straightforward in stable weather. However the area can receive strong, cold mountain winds and high camps can require heavy load carrying. Good quality lightweight gear should be selected to provide effective windproof and waterproof protection along with lightweight insulation suitable for the high mountains. Most expeditions run December, January and February and the equipment selected here is suitable for this period.
