Make sure to read the whole description below

In case you cannot join the hike, please drop out more than 12h before the start.

General information

Meeting point: Near the bench / stairs. https://maps.app.goo.gl/H3gcA5fxGHfBEjnu6

Starting time: Stated at the top of this page. That is the starting time, meaning you'd better arrive at least 5 minutes earlier.

Pace / fitness level: Faster pace version meaning I intend to reach the top in max 40 minutes, down in 20 minutes. That's a 500m gain / hour pace, which is reachable for anyone doing cardio sports on a regular basis. Each person is free to go at their own pace. We go down from the top at [Starting time] + 40 minutes precisely. If you arrive later than that, some people will be gone already.

Weather: Dry, warm. Don't take too many clothes. 

Route: Way up is steep and through the woods. Way down is the main road. 

Transportation: You go to the starting point by your own means. A parking is available (not free). 

Note: On your profile, ideally add a picture of you and select the country you're from (not the one you're living in), to show how international the group is. :) 

Gear

Mandatory: Trail running shoes (ideally) or hiking shoes. Headlamp. 

Important rules about Hiking Buddies

• You have until 12 hours before the start of the event to drop out from the hike.
• Participants not showing up will get a "NO-SHOW" flag on their profile, which decreases significantly your chances to be accepted on future hikes.
• The organizer is no professional guide, participants must be responsible for themselves (and that means to do some research about the routes and its potential dangers / tricky sections to know if you have the experience for it).

ARC'TERYX TEST GEAR
