🏔️ MARLBOROUGH MT EVEREST CHALLENGE STARTS TOMORROW! 🥾
Before you head out for your first climb, here are a few important reminders to help keep everyone safe over the next seven weeks.
✅ Check conditions: Check the weather and track conditions before every climb. Wet, slippery tracks may mean changing your plans.
✅ Take it at your own pace: Build up gradually, take breaks and listen to your body. There's no need to compete with anyone else.
✅ Be prepared: Wear suitable footwear, carry water, take a charged phone and dress for changing weather.
✅ Look after your team: Encourage one another, but never pressure someone to keep going when they're tired, injured or unwell.
✅ Respect the tracks: Stick to appropriate routes, follow signage and obey any track closures.
✅ Know what to do: Tell someone where you're going and when you expect to return. Call 111 in a serious emergency.
Most importantly, remember this is a seven-week challenge. There is no need to achieve everything on day one!
Look after yourselves, look after each other and have a great challenge. 🏔️💪
Climb the peaks. Log your climbs. Get fit. Have fun!
