Climbing:
- - Ice Axes (no pans - just the hammers)
- - Spare pick or picks
- - Crampons (monopod or bipod)
- - Rigid boots (leather or plastic, a question of preferences)
- - Gaiters to prevent crampons digging holes in your pants and scraping your legs
- - Harness, belay device, biners (non-autolocking, as they are harder to open with gloves and freeze easier)
- - Two half ropes or single rope
- - Ice-screws
- - Draws and screamers
- - Cord-o-lette for anchors
- - Piece of 12' webbing and a rap ring
- - Two pair of gloves, in case one gets dropped on a multipitch route, or is too wet for comfort
- - Liner gloves for the approach and for when you have to take the warm mitts off to do things like tie your boots, pee or eat
- - Soft or Hardshell top and pants
- - Warm layers of cloths under the shells
- - Down jacket for the belays (if it has a hood, it's even better!)
- - Warm hat that fits under the helmet (possibly two, if one gets wet)
- - Balaclava to keep your neck warm and dry
- - Warm socks (wrapping your feet in newspaper works great too!!)
