In photographing rock climbing or mountain hiking, photographers at least have to master ascending and descending technique to put themselves on the high position. Traversing is one of climbing techniques that photographers need to know to take him to high zone. Next thing to do is optimizing your physical condition to reach higher position.If you think you are not ready yet with your technical skill, you can ask a guide to accompany you during the shooting day.

unnecessary activity that drains your physical condition. Set your best time so we can enjoy our good time after the shooting session is done. Use your break time as efficient as possible, especially a nightlong sleep.

Bring some reserve batteries, or bring others energy source to charge the battery such as solar source. Photographing under unpredictable natural condition is very risky.
We need camera reserve to anticipate if some troubles occur to the main camera. For that reason bring not just one camera, bring DSLR, prosumer, or compact camera, and analog camera as well.
