Oxygen

This is not an exhaustive list. It is just the most important ones.
If you plan on climbing Everest..here's a list of gear and equipment you will need for your climb.

Footwear

Double Plastic Climbing Boots with Aveolite Liners. Good quality

plastic shells with inner boots. Avoid tight fit with heavy socks.

Fully Insulated Overboots.

Light hiking boots.

Crampons. With "step in" bindings and flat rather than "cookie

cutter" frame rails.

Gaiters.

Booties. Polar guard. Optional.

Wool or pile socks. 4 pair of Heavyweight wool or synthetic socks

(wool is warmer) to be worn over the liner socks. When layering socks,

check fit over feet and inside boots. Remember to keep one fresh, dry pair

of socks available at all times.

Liner Socks. 4 pair of smooth thin wool, nylon or Capilene to be

worn next to the skin. This reduces incidence of blisters and hot-spots.

Vapor barrier socks. Optional.

Climbing Tools

Ice Axe w/Leash. General mountaineering tool. Sizing is important:

under 5'7" use a 60cm tool; 5'7"- 6'1" use a 65cm tool; over 6'1" use a 70cm

tool. (Too short is preferable to too long).

Carabiners (4) Locking; (6) Regular. 2 HMS Twistlock & 2 small

screwgate lockers; 6 standard ovals recommended.

Ascenders (2). Petzls recommended. One right and one left.

Rappel device. 1 Figure 8, ATC or Trango Pyramid.

Perlon. 40 ft of flexible 6mm.

Alpine Climbing Harness. Harness should fit over all clothing, have

gear loops, adjustable leg loops and be reasonably comfortable to hang

suspended in. Make sure you can get into the harness without having to

step through any part of it.

Adjustable Ski/Trekking Poles. Optional, but recommended.

Technical Clothing

Expedition weight underwear. 1 pair Polypro or Capilene.

Lightweight Underwear. 2-3 pair top & bottom, Capilene, other

synthetic or wool. No Cotton. Lightweight is preferable as it is more

versatile (worn single in warmer conditions and double layer for colder).

Zip-T-neck tops allow more ventilation options. One set of white for

intense sunny days on the glacier and one pair of dark for faster drying

gives the most versatility.

Pile Jacket. Heavyweight pile (Polartec 300). A full-zip version

is easier to put on and has better ventilation than a pull-over. Windstopper

fleece is NOT recommended due to reduced breathability.

Pile Pants. Heavyweight pile (Polartec 300) with full separating

side zippers (This is very important for ventilation and for ease of

dressing up or down when conditions change in the middle of a climb).

Down Pants. To fit over insulation layers. Outer shell must be

windproof.

Down Parka. (Fully Baffled, Expedition Weight, must have good hood)

Gore-Tex Shell Pants & Shell Jacket with hood.

(Bibs recommended) For the jacket we highly recommend a long front zipper, a

roomy rather than snug fit and underarm zips which go well below the armpit.

We also require full separating side zippers on the pants.

Sleeping

Sleeping Bag. (Expedition quality rated to at least -300F).

Goose down preferred for bulk & weight.

2 Sleeping Pads. One, 3/4 or full-length closed-cell foam Ridge Rest

and One, 3/4 length or full-length Therma-Rest w/repair kit.

Mitts & Gloves

2 Pair Synthetic Gloves. Bunting or fleece gloves which will fit

comfortably inside mitts. A heavier fleece will do a better job of keeping

hands warmer when wet than lighter polypropylene or Capilene.

2 Pair Pile Mitts and Gore-Tex Overmitts. Outdoor Research

Expeditions w/double liners or North Face Down Mitts. Should be big enough

so that gloves fit inside pile liners.

Hand warmer. Optional.

Headgear

Baseball Cap or other Sun Hat. One with a good visor to shade the

nose and eyes. Include a bandanna to shade the neck.

Wool or pile ski hat. Make sure ears are covered.

Balaclava (1) Heavy weight, (1) Lightweight.Heavyweight must fit over lightweight.

Neoprene face mask. Optional

Head lamp (Plenty of extra bulbs & batteries.

2 Pairs of Glacier glasses. 100% UV, high quality optical lenses

designed for mountain use, must have full side covers. We highly recommend a

removable nose guard. If you wear contact lenses we recommend packing a spare pair of glasses-it is a good idea to have these with "photo-gray" or equivalent light-sensitive material so they can double as emergency sunglasses. If you wear glasses we recommend prescription glacier glasses (dark gray or green). No more than

6% light transmission.

Ski Goggles, 1 pair. 100% UV & IR.

Climbers with glasses try X-700, they fit over glasses.

Camping

Backpack. Internal frame pack expandable to 6,000 cu.in.

Keep it simple and light, avoid unnecessary zippers, etc which add weight.

Daypack. Optional for trekking days.

Swiss Army knife.

Bic Lighter.

1 Liter Thermos.

Cooking Gear:

Cup: 16oz. plastic with snap-on lid (retains heat well and is

spill resistant in the tent).

Spoon: Good quality tough plastic.

Bowl: Deep plastic with 2-3 cup capacity.

Water Bottles: 2 liters minimum capacity. One, 1.5 liter & One .5

liter wide-mouth. Hunnersdorf are recommended (they withstand temperature

extremes and abuse better than Nalgene)

No water bags or bladder systems, they freeze.

Pee Bottle (1 Liter). Large mouth water bottle. Mark bottle clearly.

Pee Funnel (for women).

Sunscreen. SPF 40 or better, 2 small tubes.

Lipscreen. SPF 40 or better, at least 2 sticks.

Personal first aid kit. Aspirin, Moleskin, Adhesive tape, Band-Aids,

personal medications.

Traveling

Large duffel bags. 2 for transporting gear.

Compression Stuff Sacks work well for reducing volume (optional)

Especially for sleeping bags and clothing.

4 Plastic Bags. To line stuff sacks to keep gear dry and one large

enough to line pack. Trash Compactor bags work the best.

Travel clothes.

Toiletry bag. Include toilet paper.

Camera gear. Optional

Answer 8

• Climbing boots have inner parts made of foam to protect feet from frostbite; also, they are less bulky and have rigid soles.
• New climbers should contact a climbing club, where experienced climbers teach the basic skills in complete safety.
• Ice axes has curved shaft and adjustable head which makes it easier to swing when cutting steps and can also grip snow well enough to stop a fall.
• Clamps called jumars can move up safely and not down.
• Ropes are clip onto nuts, which can limit how far a climber can fall.
• Nylon clothing use to keep the wind out and keep the climber warm.
• Oxygen bottles provide oxygen for climber at high attitudes.
• Goggles are use to prevent glare from snow which can cause snow blindness
• Sufficient amount of food for climbers.
