< p > Expo maintains one big top camp first aid kit, which is in a big grey peli case however it is not designed/intended to go

underground. Plateau falls are actually the biggest risk on expo -
the limestone is sharp and sometimes slippery, the rucksacks are
enormous and heavy. Small personal kits for underground use are also a
good idea, as is a bivi bag or bothy in case of getting stuck for any
reason (as it's damn cold).< / p >

< p > There are two mini-rescue first aid kits in a yellow and an orange peli case. One should be kept at the stone bridge bivy site and the other either at base camp or at any secondary camps. < / p >
< p > There is a first response grab bag containing a brew kit and a bovy shelter, as well as a hauling bag containing the necessary stuff to haul people< / p >
< p > There is also a stretcher, which should contain a neck collar and googles.< / p >

< p > At base camp is more first aid stuff for both replenishment and other
injuries.< / p >
