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

Pants

A True Companion. It is one of those rare designs where you can adjust the length by folding the cuffs and zip them into shorts whenever you like. It is truly hard to come across such functional details these days. There have been so many times after summit climbs where I’ve converted these pants into shorts and plunged into cool waters. Combined with UPF sun protection and Quickdry technology, they have become my personal definition of “perfection.” I bought two, but I really wish I had bought more; unfortunately, functional models like this are hard to come by nowadays.
