Alberto Iñurrategi | Alta Ruta de los Perdidos | Ternua

Alberto Iñurrategi is an icon of Basque mountaineering and a benchmark in the world of high mountains. He became the youngest climber to achieve 14 eight-thousanders, completing, along with Jean Christophe Lafaille, the first repeat of the East Ridge of Annapurna. Together with Alberto Iñurrategi and Ternua, a committed and sustainable brand that protects the planet and outfits those with an adventurous soul and an outdoor spirit who seek to connect with nature, we list the essential equipment for enjoying La Alta Ruta de Los Perdidos, the quintessential Pyrenean trek. Changing landscapes with each stage, impressive mountains with stories of great mountaineers from both sides of the border, the southernmost glaciers in Europe in their death throes, waterfalls, forests, rivers... without a doubt, La Alta Ruta de Los Perdidos is an adventure trekking paradise. The first thing to consider when enjoying the High Route of the Lost, or any other trekking or hiking route, is the lightness of the material. Good weather is another important factor. However, if we're carrying light weight, the weather takes a backseat. A highly breathable first layer designed for sweating should be very light. A quick-drying second layer or fleece that provides warmth when needed. These are very practical pieces of clothing. A highly packable down jacket. These are highly functional garments that can always come in handy. Trekking or hiking pants. Bi-elastic fabrics, high-strength polyamides like Cordura, or aramids like Kevlar are their primary materials. Waterproof, high-top trekking or hiking boots to protect your joints. However, the choice of footwear depends on your experience. The right trekking or hiking backpack is essential. 30 or 40 liters is more than enough. To enjoy the adventure, your backpack must be light. It's very important to find the balance between necessity and weight. A very light sleeping bag that takes up little space in your backpack. Trekking or hiking poles with rubber stoppers, so you don't break paths or dig trenches. Headlamps will help you navigate both in the mountains when the day gets long and in shelters when light conditions aren't optimal. They don't weigh much or take up space. Hydration is very important. Therefore, we recommend everything from a polycarbonate bottle to hydration bladders. Even if you enjoy the High Route of the Lost in summer, thin gloves should always be in your backpack, considering that you'll be crossing passes above 2,500 meters in altitude. Sunglasses are also essential to protect your eyes from the sun's rays. As are hats. A basic mountain first-aid kit that meets two key requirements: compact for easy transport and includes all the necessary equipment for both disinfection and immobilization. 👉 Alta Ruta de Los Perdidos Equipment: http://bit.ly/AltaRutaPerdidos 👉 Ternua Equipment: http://bit.ly/Ternua_ 👉 Facebook:   / verticoutdoor   👉 Instagram:   / verticoutdoor   👉 Twitter:   / vertic_es
