Some trips are cold, and good down jackets are really key. Other climbing trips have lots of steep ice and mixed terrain where the choice of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My partner and I had an obscene amount of gear when we got off the plane and set foot on the glacier in Alaska. Among our several duffel bags, skis, and backpacks was a Primus Profile Duo Campground Stove and 10 large propane canisters. The rest of base camp must have thought we were nuts, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Crampons are one of the most important pieces of gear you take with you on an alpine trip. They literally have an impact on every step you take and must handle every type of terrain with ease. Unlike ice-specific crampons that only need to climb ice well, a pair of alpine crampons must climb ice, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most gear is tested by actually using it. You climb with your tools, wear your boots, carry gear with your pack, and so on. Then, after using that gear you form an opinion based on your experience, and you can then speak with an informed opinion on the good and bad properties of that gear. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last time I went on an alpine trip, I brought along a heavy hard-shell helmet for two reasons: it was tough enough to withstand travel to base camp, and it&#8217;s what I had always done. In recent years molded helmets have gained popularity for their extremely low weight, and I&#8217;m all about low weight. [...]]]></description>

As soon as it was decided that our Alaska trip was going to be based out of an airstrip-side base camp where we didn&#8217;t have to carry anything farther than a hundred yards, our gear list basically doubled. Among all that gear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my opinion, boots are the most important piece of gear you take on a trip. It&#8217;s also one of the hardest pieces of gear to get right. A perfect fit is absolutely paramount, or you&#8217;re going to have sore feet the entire time. Warmth is extremely important if you like to keep your toes [...]]]></description>

We were blessed (cursed) with really warm, calm weather during a recent climbing trip in Alaska, but I&#8217;ve been on trips where things [...]]]></description>

Although we didn&#8217;t get all that much done due to obscenely warm temperatures (88 degrees in the tent one day), I did get the chance to beat [...]]]></description>
