Rwenzori Packing List

A packing list for the Rwenzori Mountains should include versatile, waterproof, and layered clothing to cope with the region’s unpredictable, extreme conditions, ranging from hot bogs to freezing, snow-covered peaks. Must-have items include durable rain gear, a four-season sleeping bag, well-broken-in trekking boots, gaiters, and layers made of merino wool or synthetic fabrics. For the summit, technical equipment such as crampons and an ice axe is also essential.
