• Bullet climbers are at 3 times higher risk of injury and illness. Resting overnight is highly advised.
• Incidents of altitude sickness are more frequent when ascending too quickly. A slow ascent is highly advised.

• Reservations by phone, etc. are necessary for staying at a mountain hut.
• It is common for mountain huts not to accept payment in the form of credit cards and other payment cards.
• Because water is very precious, there are no handwashing stations or baths.
• Because many people stay at one time, men and women stay in the same room in close conditions (limited personal space)
• These are modest accommodations offering bare necessities for rest. Please have realistic expectations.
