The purpose of this guide is to assist individuals who will be experiencing their first ascent to a hilltop or mountain.

The focus is on decisions which will impact you before you step up the mountain; how to prepare for your climb, typical beginner mistakes, and thoughts on your trainning, equipment needed and risks without complicating things more than necessary.

The Guide will be complemented by two points of reference; training structure and equipment list which allow you to alter this information to fit your own climb and location.

No hype or promotion, simply practical advice based on actual experience.
