Doing anything above 8k meters this year? @angshimalayanadventures has some advice: "As the big mountain season is coming up, I suggest people coming for the mountains must arrive in the right state of mind. Come prepared both mentally and physically and be prepared for the unexpected. Good gear plays a big role in big mountain climbing. It saves you energy, reduces risk, improves performance, increases survival chances, and boosts physiological confidence. On a big mountain every ounce counts. The reason why I recommend HALKA packs is that the word HALKA (“light” in Nepali) says it all. It's built simple, strong, and very light compared to other packs. Every ounce less is energy saved!”
