Alpine Climbing Harness

Lightweight mountaineering harness that allows you to put on the harness without taking off your crampons, and is easier to facilitate going to the bathroom. 

Recommendation

Tri-Lock Carabiner

Used to belay or clip into the climbing rope. The Tri-Lock mechanism ensures you're locked in immediately after clipping into the rope.

Crampons with an Anti-Balling Plate

Steel 12-point adjustable crampons. Must be fit to your climbing boots prior to your trip.

Recommendation

Mountaineering Ice Axe

Multi-purpose mountaineering tool. The length of your axe will depend on your height. We HIGHLY recommend going in person to an outdoor gear store to have your axe correctly sized to you.

Hiking Poles with Snow Baskets

Lightweight and packable hiking poles, with snow baskets for climbing on the glacier. One pole will be used in combination with your ice axe. 

Recommendation

Climbing Shoes

Climbing shoes are highly personal, and will vary from climber to climber. Our favorites are listed below, but we HIGHLY recommend trying shoes on in person, feeling them out, and talking to reps and the local community for additional guidance and recommendations.
