2. Wear appropriate shoes that you do not mind getting dirty.
3. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Drinking plenty of water the day before and during the climb will help keep up your endurance.
4. Get plenty of rest the night before and have a small snack before the hike, such as a granola bar or banana with peanut butter.
5. Wear sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen.
6. Wear lose fitting clothing that breaths and will be comfortable.
7. Pace yourself during the climb, if you start feeling winded or dizzy step to the side and take a break, this is not a race.
