I usually get about 100 days out of a pair before holes start to form. Dexterous for all of the rope work without sacrificing warmth. Warm with a knee high Windstopper upper make these great for hanging around camp.īlack Diamond Punisher Gloves. Western Mountaineering Expedition Booties. Great for sitting around camp, probably not so good for climbing in without a baggy shell pant over it. The material the pants are made out of is prone to ripping quite easily. I usually throw this on as a mid layer when a base layer and shell aren’t quite cutting it. Too warm for the majority of the time but when you need it there’s no alternative. I also wore it for the overnight bivy on Hunter. This jacket fits the bill for the cold (-25F with moderate wind) we encountered on our summit day on Denali. I brought a heavier down jacket but didn’t use it much since the DAS has been plenty warm, even on the top of Foraker. Unfortunately not warm enough to stand alone above 13k but perfect for conditions lower down. Probably my favorite jacket for 90% of my ski touring trips in Wyoming and the lower 48.

Gore-Tex Pro Shell in a well designed jacket. A popular classic for high output activities in less than perfect weather.
These pants have a some reinforcement around the knees/lower leg and butt. I’ve been on the soft shell pants train for a number of years. Glacier gear – Assorted locking and non locking binders, a foot, waist and 2 ratchet prusiks, 2 Black Diamond express screws (13cm and 22cm), and a V-thread tool. Pluses are it’s lighter, packs down smaller, and has a belay loop (Pretty handy for kiwi coils) on the down side I tend to have a hard time with the buckle when I have gloves on and I’d like 2 more gear loops. A couple pluses and minus compared to the Bod. Another new piece of gear for me for this trip having previously come from an Alpine Bod. Detailed review here.īlack Diamond Couloir harness. I mainly carry this for arresting a crevasse fall. I brought a hammer and adze.īlack Diamond Whippet. They don’t plunge as well as a straight shafted tool but they swing like a dream. In retrospect an aluminium crampon would have fit the bill better and weighed less, but the frontpoints came in handy leading the bit of technical ice. I opted to bring my slightly more technical crampons and axes on this trip mainly because I wasn’t sure exactly what sort of conditions we would encounter on Hunter.
