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.

Hiking Backpack

Hiking Backpack

With an incredibly light empty weight of just 500 grams, this is an ultra-light backpack. I generally use it during acclimatization climbs, camp-to-camp hikes, or on final summit pushes. The side straps allow you to securely attach trekking poles or an ice axe reasonably well.
