How do I stay warm and dry in the mountains?

Manage moisture actively: shed layers before you overheat on climbs, add them back at the top or during breaks so you don’t cool down while damp. Keep a spare warm layer, toque, and gloves sealed in a dry bag. Waterproof shell over insulation is the classic combination for our wet, cool climate. A hot drink in a small thermos in winter is a real morale boost.
