Not a guidebook. A working plan.
Pick another refugio, reshape your first day or replan your water. HYKA updates the connected parts of your plan automatically.
Their night, kept as is. The booking note, the water warning for the karst and tomorrow’s early start stay in place.
A big first day, exactly as they walked it. Their timing, the water notes and the early-start advice stay with you on the climb.
Their strategy: refill at every refugio and at the sources they marked along the way. The daily carry stays matched to each stage.
The refugios provide blankets but expect you to bring a liner. It packs to nothing and doubles as a warm layer on cold mountain nights.
Prefer to walk it exactly as they did? That works too.
