How to climb a volcano

2026-03-02

First rule of volcano climbing is stay hydrated. Water in, water out. You only control one of those, so match the flow.

Second rule is have fun! A good rule-of-thumb is 2 per km climbed, but spares are always handy.

Third rule is carry a 10-foot pole, preferably something flammable. Sounds counter-intuitive, but if something is going to spontaneously combust, then better it than you.

Rule four is watch out for the Gougar. This is why you bring spares.

I'm fucking with you. They entombed the Gougar in '98.

Rule six, don't get too comfortable. That's when the mountain smiles.
