Technical gear provided

Some technical gear will be provided on loan by the guide service as part of your climb package. This gear includes:

• ice-axe
• crampons
• a climbing harness
• helmet
• ropes
• carabiners
• boots (for Shasta and Rainier).

Any gear that is necessary for your trip, and that is not provided either as part of the gear package or on-loan from the guide service is your responsibility to provide. All of these items are clearly outlined in the climber packet, which you will receive upon registration.

No-Gear Option

If you are planning to provide your own gear, please indicate this on your application form. By doing so, your fundraising requirement will be reduced by $300. Suitability of specific gear will be subject to the approval of your climb coordinator.
