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

Gaiters

Gaiters

They fit perfectly around the foot in rocky, snowy, and icy conditions without slipping or opening up. Their waterproof yet breathable design provides a big advantage during long activities. They work especially well with crampons and stiff boots, wrapping the ankle tightly. The zipper and fastening system is practical. They feel a bit stiff at first but adapt to the foot over time.
