Headlamp (with spare batteries) on Aconcagua
Also called: Flashlight and head lamp, Head lamp, Headlamp, Spare batteries, Spare batteries (for headlamp)
What it is for
Lights the way on summit day, which on most of these mountains starts in the dark, and in camp at night. Cold empties batteries quickly, so carry spares.
