My High mountain Mittens for when it gets really cold

Technical mountaineering crampons I use for high-altitude climbing across snow, ice and more technical mountain terrain.

Lightweight mountaineering harness I use for high-altitude expeditions, glacier travel and technical climbing in the mountains.

My main on-mountain headlamp for alpine starts, overnight summit pushes and moving through the mountains in darkness.

Double mountaineering boots I use for cold high-altitude objectives where warmth, protection and technical climbing capability all matter.

My full down suit for 8,000m expeditions, built around staying protected during extremely cold high-altitude summit pushes.

Small mountain knife I keep in my kit for everyday camp and equipment tasks.

Down suit I use for very cold high-altitude objectives below the level where I bring my full 8,000m expedition suit.

Mountain sunglasses I use to protect my eyes and keep bright conditions more manageable on exposed days.

Versatile technical ice axe I use on high-altitude expeditions where routes can vary from straightforward snow to steeper terrain.

Lightweight climbing helmet I use when I need head protection without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to my mountain kit.

High-altitude mountaineering boots I use for cold 8,000m objectives and long summit days.

Technical mountaineering boots I use for faster alpine climbing and objectives where I don't need my heavier expedition footwear.

OTG mountain goggles I use on snowy, windy days when sunglasses are not enough.

Multi-tool I carry for small repairs, adjustments and general jobs around camp and on the road.
