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

Travel Duffel Bag

I frequently use both the Small and Large sizes. The Small model measures 52×32.5×32.5 cm, has a 50-liter capacity, and its volume can be reduced when needed. I’ve also used it for regular travel and had no issues in the cabin, although some airlines may cause problems when it’s completely full. Thanks to its ballistic nylon material, it is extremely resistant to wear and tear. With no fragile buckles, wheels, or handles, it’s virtually indestructible. It can withstand all kinds of rough handling by baggage handlers. A long-lasting bag that I really enjoy using.
