Luggage and bags: water proof bags helpful

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: At a minimum, warm clothing, rain gear, warm headwear, gloves, warm socks. Very important for elevations above 11000 feet.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Diamox may be needed for altitude sickness; sunscreen, lip balm

Photo Equipment: Bring plenty of film or digital memory sticks. Cloud formations contantly change, there will be constant temptations for another shot.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Warm sleeping bags rated for 30 degrees F (0 deg C) or below.

Miscellaneous: Other gear necessarily for climbing rock and crossing glaciers, if you plan to do mountain climbing.
