Rock peak scramble Gear List

I can provide helmet and harness at no extra charge if you require.

  • Hiking/climbing boots - good for trails and off-trail scree as well as easy climbing. Any good hiking boot with full ankle support and lug soles will work. A normal running or light trail shoe is not appropriate. Please ask if there is any question whether your footwear is suitable.

  • Helmet - needs to be designed for climbing and in good condition - we can provide a helmet.

  • Harness - a sit harness with a belay loop - all soft safety gear such as a harness needs to be less than 10 years old - we can provide a harness.

  • Hiking pole (1 or 2). Highly recommended. It is best but not essential that the pole collapses so it can be attached to your pack.

  • Headlamp

  • Water bottle - at least one liter

  • Lunch that you can eat "on the fly"

  • Camera

  • Waterproof rain jacket

  • Waterproof rain pants

  • Light gloves

  • Warm hat that fits beneath a helmet

  • Climbing pants

  • Long johns

  • T-shirt

  • Long sleeve shirt

  • Soft shell or fleece/windshell combo

  • Lightweight insulated jacket

  • It is best to have synthetic clothing rather than cotton

  • A backpack that all this equipment fits into (including a helmet and harness).

  • MORAINE LAKE TO LAKE O’HARA TREK: in addition to the above you will also need ice axe and crampons that fit securely to your boots.
