Of course a camping trip can be an extremely enjoyable and special experience provided you are well prepared and are armed with all the camping gear necessities to see you through till you return home. In a moment of panic when you cannot see anything because of a power failure, a flashlight kept handy saves a lot of trouble.
Spiked soles that clamp to the soles of your boots, called crampons are required for keeping traction on the ice. Colorado is famous for climbing adventures because of the thousands of crags and cliffs that adorn Colorado's peaks and plateaus. Overnight camping trips are a good idea as by the end of the trip you have a fair idea of what all you need and it will help you prepare a checklist, which can be referred to for future trips.
Climbing works the arms, shoulders, trunk and legs of the body. Try to flex and exercise your ankles at least several times in the week or two before your trip.
You will need a flashlight so you can see your way around after you've put off your campfire. A great deal of body heat can be lost through an uncovered head. A nice hat can keep the sun out of your eyes, and a rain jacket can keep you safe and warm.
Camping and hiking equiptment are constantly changing and upgrading for the better. So always be prepared and try to get into shape before you take on to big of a trail.
