Careful route planning and consideration of meteorological conditions are a must. Some sections of the route can only be completed in very good weather conditions.
The weather can change rapidly in the mountains. Therefore, take suitable clothing, sufficient provisions, and water. Turn back in time in case of uncertain weather.
Inform others about the route and never go alone if possible.
