  • Travel & Emergency Information
    Required Clothing List – What to bring on course Packing for Wilderness Travel Wilderness travel means you can and, for your comfort, should carry a lot less than you do in the regular world; most experienced wilderness travelers will tell you that they bring about the same amount of gear on a three-day trip as they would on a three-week trip. Your COBS Packing List: • Colorado Outward Bound School provides other necessary equipment not on this list, including stoves, sleeping pads, sleeping bags, backpacks, cookware, sleeping tarps, and ropes,. • There are no additional fees for the use of our equipment, but if our equipment is lost or damaged beyond normal wear and tear, you will be charged for the replacement. • Pack your clothing and gear in a duffel bag or suitcase. You will keep personal items such as clean clothes (for your return trip home) and valuables (cell phones, electronic devices, and wallets) in your luggage. These items will be stored at our base camp facility in a locked storage area while you are on course. Leave expensive items at home. • Once on the course, your instructors will help you select from your luggage the best combination of items for you. They will assess your personal gear, the group gear you will be required to carry, and then balance it against your pack weight, physical size, and temperature for the time of year. • Since this list must accommodate ALL the weather conditions you may encounter and consider the wide range of individual preferences and body temperatures of our students, it is very likely you will not use every single item on this list.

  • SUMMER MOUNTAINEERING EQUIPMENT LIST for Overnight Trips
    SUMMER MOUNTAINEERING EQUIPMENT LIST For overnight trips FOOTWEAR: Objective dependent - check with MAG on the exact requirements for your trip ● Lightweight Mountaineering Boots: depending on the objective, they may need to accommodate a semi-automatic crampon. Be sure to break them in with some long hikes prior to your trip. (Guide’s Pick: Scarpa Zodiac Tech GTX) ● Approach Shoes: Sticky rubber hiking shoe for non-technical climbing. ● Rock Shoes: For technical rock climbing routes. Sticky rubber approach shoes are fine for moderate routes (i.e. Granite Peak in MT). Not necessary for Gannett Peak. ● Socks: 2 to 4 pairs (synthetic or wool-mix), sized for your boots. At least one thin liner is recommended for blister management. ● River Crossing Shoes: lightweight Crocs or Keens that can also double as a camp shoe NOTE: On Gannett Peak, some participants choose to have a hiking approach shoe for the majority of the hiking and only use the climbing boot on the day of our climb. This can be a good combination but obviously adds weight to your load. TOP LAYERS ● T-shirt/Sport Shirt: synthetic ● Long Sleeve Base Layer: synthetic or wool ● Fleece: medium-weight polar fleece ● Puffy Jacket: down or synthetic fill, light to medium-weight ● Rain Jacket: lightweight BOTTOM LAYERS ● Bottom Base Layer (long johns): lightweight synthetic or wool ● Climbing Pant: synthetic/nylon ● Hiking Short: synthetic ● Rain Pant: lightweight OTHER ● Gaiters: through mid-July (Guide’s pick: Black Diamond Talus or Cirque Gaiters) ● Hat or Visor: for sun ● Warm Hat: lightweight that fits under a helmet ● Gloves: light to mid-weight, with Gore-Tex shell ● Backpack: 60L-75L (Guide’s Pick: Osprey: Ariel or Aether Series) ● Summit Pack: 15-25L super lightweight ● Sleeping Bag: 15 degree (Guide’s Pick: Mountain Hardwear Phantom 15) ● Sleeping Pad: Closed-cell foam or Thermarest (as lightweight as possible) ● Tent (optional): MAG can supply tents but they are 4-season and made to last.

  • The Alps Equipment List
    The Alps Equipment List Clothing: Carry items that are breathable, allow flexibility, resist wind and water, and based on a layering system. Please confer with your guide about specific clothing combinations and/or if you have any questions regarding your gear. • Boots – Rigid synthetic or leather mountaineering boots. If Mt. Blanc is on your itinerary you will want to include a pair of insulated boots. • Approach shoes -A beefy pair of hikers for doing climbs on the non snowy side of the Chamonix valley. You might cross some small sections of snow in these, but you will also carry them in your pack on climbs. • Gaiters – Necessary for snow travel. Ankle high gaiters are recommended for the Alps. • Socks – Wool or synthetic. Avoid cotton. A single heavy weight pair is best. A pair of liners with a medium sock also works well. Bring a spare set. • Pants – Synthetic preferred. Pants made from Schoeler Fabric such as Patagonia’s “Alpine Guide” or “Simple Guide” pants are great options. • Long Underwear – Top and bottoms: Capilene or polypropylene recommended. • Lightweight shirt – A lightweight fleece (Patagonia’s R1) or wool shirt. • Jacket – Synthetic, pile or wool. Patagonia’s “puffball” or similar synthetic is a great option as its lighter, warmer and more packable than fleece. • Shell gear – Gore-tex parka with hood and pants as lightweight as possible. These will live in your pack for much of the trip. Side zips on your pants are nice for pulling on over boots. • Gloves– Two pairs: one insulated with shell, the other lightweight, such as a windstopper fleece or nordic ski glove with a leather palm.
