I. Make the most of your time before the expedition.” If you want peace, prepare for war.”

II. No kit, no climb — that’s the mountain rule every time!

III. Prevention is better than cure.

IV. 2500 — first night done, 500 daily — max, not fun. each 1000 — take a break, it’s your life, not just a hike!

V. A happy mountaineer always pees clear.

VI. Strong shades on, no delay, UV light will make you pay.

VII. Watch your friend, as you watch yourself.

VIII. The cautious are always insured.

IX. AMS – the mountain hangover, no less!

X. Drowsy, loopy, takes a spill? Think it’s HACE — and lose that hill!

XI. Breath is tight, and lips turn blue, HAPE is real — it’s hunting you. don’t delay or hope for grace, head downhill — leave this place.

XII. IF your health begins to crash, drop 1000 meters — and do it fast!

XIII. Drowsy talk and icy skin? Hypothermia is creeping in. wrap him up and block the breeze, add dry clothes and warm with ease.

XIV. (for men) If you want to warm a lady, wear a space blanket under your helmet, daily!

XV. (for woman) If a guy’s teeth are clacking fast, a plastic bag will warm him at last!

XVI. Freeze your toe just once, my friend, and the troubles never end.

XVII. If you refreeze a thawed finger, say goodbye, it won’t linger.

XVIII. Mountains are not for suckers, mountains like MacGyvers
