Safety and rescue

The following points are intended as reminders for staying safe in the mountains.

Check the weather forecast: consult online weather resources such as AEMET (www.aemet.es/en/) and the Sierra Nevada ski pages (www.sierranevada.es/en/), looking out for wind gust speeds at your intended altitude. Temperatures both the night before and on the day of your climb will indicate likely ground conditions (ice, soft snow etc) and also the likely wind chill factor.

Dress accordingly: take spare clothing – the extra weight will be well worth it when the clouds come in and winds increase. In winter, pack a down jacket and extra gloves, even on the best of days.
