Vertic Log
Developed with Swiss Mountain Guides
Vertic-Log – successfully to the peak!
Mountain sports are great and demanding. Beside a good physical condition, mental readiness and resilience and technical skills the active participation in this sport also requires a clear thought-out strategy with a realistic and coordinated time management.
Let your theoretic knowledge and your practical experience flow into the planning. Visualise your tour from the beginning, over the ascent, the stay on the peak, to the descent and through to the desired time of return. Consider the fact that conditions in the mountains can change very fast. Organise your time so that you can return early enough, without the risk of getting caught in a storm.
As soon as you start your tour, begin recording your ascent with the Vertic-Log. The Vertic-Log independently divides your ascent into segments of 100m effective altitude increase, and while your are still climbing you can monitor the most important data and that way adjust your progress to your time plan. This also allows you to make safety relevant decisions.
After finishing your tour, be this at home or in a bivouac, you can evaluate the Vertic-Log data stored in the i-Climber and compare it to the plan gaining valuable conclusions. This helps set-up and strengthen tactical intelligence. And that improves your safety on the mountain in the future.
