Mountain climbing

The gear required for mountain climbing  depends to a large extent on how long or technical the climb is. Many choose to climb moderate size peaks in a single day which reduces the amount of gear you need to carry (no camping). Really big peaks (like Denali) require several days of climbing and a significant amount  of camping gear.

Some of the supplies are:

Clothing

Safety Gear - Helmet, Crampons (the spikes that you use for glacier travel or snow / ice climbing), Ice axe(s), rope, harness, etc - depends on how steep / technical the climb is.

Supplies - food and water (or stove / fuel for melting snow)

Camping gear for multi-day climbs - tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, stove and fuel, dehydrated food, pot and utensils,
