quote:2) ON SUMMIT DAY, DON'T DRESS TOO WARMLY. I know it's freezing at Kibo, but once you start moving, you warm up quick. We had people getting overheated 20 minutes into the climb. Dress warmly, but you should be a little chilly before you start moving. If you're toasty warm and you're standing still, you're overdressed.
I disagree with this advice. It was -15 C with plenty of wind when I summitted on October 4th. Remember to dress in layers. It's always easier to take layers off then to put them on when they're in your bag back at camp.
