  • Equipment List

    Equipment List

    www.alpineinstitute.com [email protected] Equipment Shop: 360-671-1570 The Spirit of Alpinism Administrative Office: 360-671-1505 1515 12th st Bellingham, WA 98225 ALPINE MOUNTAINEERING AND TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP PART 2 Bellingham, WA EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST The primary goal of any alpine climber should always be to carry as little as possible. What is left out of a backpack is often just as important as what is placed inside. Conditions in the mountains vary dramatically from season-to-season and sometimes even throughout the same day. This can make the process of preparing equipment for an alpine climb difficult. On the one hand, a climber wants to be light. But on the other, a climber wants to have everything he or she needs if there is a storm. This list was designed for the “worst case scenario” trip with significant inclement weather. In serious conditions it’s not uncommon for a climber to need every piece of clothing and equipment on this list. However, if a program does not encounter significant weather, there may be items here that are not used. As you prepare for your trip, it’s important to plan for the worst and hope for the best. On the first day of your program, an AAI guide will work with you to refine your mountain kit to ensure that you bring exactly what’s needed given the forecast. It is acceptable to bring too much clothing or equipment to your initial meeting. And it is acceptable to bring things that you have questions about. Extra equipment can always be left behind at the AAI shop.
