Once you become a dayhiker, you will never go back to being a camper… for me at least. As defined before in my previous post, a dayhike for me is climbing a mountain not intending to spend the night (or sleep) in the campsite.
Almost all of my climbs I preferred to do on a dayhike. Not only does it spare me the trouble of bringing too much load for camping, it also rids the environment of that unwanted prolonged alien presence. Dayhike climbing is an excellent training for endurance.
Since dayhiking is not new to me, a religion in fact… I prepared a list of my most important “what-to-bring”s in a climb.
