There is not much you need to get started with Ghana Mountaineers. For the easier hikes, some good, comfortable shoes and a comfortable backpack are enough. And even if you want to begin climbing with us, you don’t need much more than that to get on the rock.
Most of the equipment can be borrowed from us, also for overnight hikes and camping excursions. However, if you seriously want to get into hiking and climbing and want to join more often, we recommend to start acquiring some basic gear and equipment.
Below are some lists of essential stuff for some of our activities. These lists might vary sometimes, but they give you a good idea of what is needed.
Always a good idea is to bring along a set of clothes to change into for the way back in the bus. Makes the ride so much more comfortable.
In case of an existing medical pre-condition ( asthma, allergies, etc. ), you MUST bring your required medication and you have to inform the guide about where you carry the medication and how it is used.
