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
A waterproof, high-quality ski glove. It keeps your hands as warm as if they were indoors, yet still breathes well enough not to cause sweating.

The one-hand adjustable cord on the cuff tightens the wrist and keeps the glove securely in place. They’re so comfortable that you don’t want to take them off. German quality shows itself clearly.
