The area you have chosen is not only rugged but also very susceptable to sudden and dangerous weather conditions. I would recommend the following as essential; high level of fitness, proper cold/wet weather clothing, and a PLB.

Some very sage advice here. I would love o be able to try chase tahr but I know that my level of fitness would get me into trouble rather than out of it. A PLB is an extremely good idea to the point of essential in my opinion. Especially in that terrain.
