My Climbing & Mountaineering Gear List

Last Updated: May 2026

I’ve compiled my complete personal gear inventory here with photos and honest reviews based on real-world use. I check this list before every trip to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything. I’ve added my experiences, pros, cons, and tips — hopefully they’ll help you make better gear decisions.

Clothing System

Fleece Gloves

Fleece Gloves

The “Etip” name refers to touchscreen compatibility on the index finger, but I couldn’t really use this feature effectively. The idea of using your phone without taking off the gloves is nice, but it didn’t work well for me. Apart from that, the Gore Windstopper technology that cuts wind and the water-resistant DWR coating are very successful. The grippy panels on the palm, index, and middle fingers provide secure pole grip and reduce the chance of dropping your phone. Overall, the gloves are comfortable and fit the hand well.
