Equipment Checklist for Mount Everest

Having the right equipment on your expedition will make almost as much difference to your safety, comfort, and enjoyment as any physical training you do. It is essential that you take the time to acquire the correct gear; don’t wait for the last minute to find out your local shop doesn’t have your size. This equipment is expensive, but you can often find great sales online and at your local gear store. The purpose of this gear list is to help guide your purchases. Often salespeople in your local shop do not have first hand knowledge of high-altitude climbing, so be sure to balance their advice with what you read here. We have strived to create a list heavy on detail, but there are always further questions!

During your expedition in Nepal you will encounter a very wide range of temperatures and weather conditions. At one end of this range are the pleasantly warm and beautiful lowlands around Lukla, while at the other end of the spectrum is the cold and often windy weather up amongst the glaciers and the highest peaks in the world, before summit day itself. The equipment you
bring must function well in a wide variety of conditions. Your clothing should be warm, lightweight, dry quickly, and allow good freedom of movement. Adhere to the layering principle: several thin layers of insulation (rather than one thick one).

This list is a guide. While you are required to bring everything on this list, there are numerous options, brands, and versions of each piece of equipment, unless otherwise noted. Using our current suggested brand list we encourage you to shop around, do research, even borrow, and use your experience with our list to find the best gear for you.

Purchasing the specific items listed below will ensure you have the right tool for the job, but there are other options on the market.

A note on the packing

For your international 9lights, we recommend that you pack all your
equipment in your two larger duf9le bags. Do not simply pack your
backpack (since the straps can be damaged by the baggage handling
machines). It is important to lock these bags for their trip. Depending
on the airport, you may be able to put your travel locks on after TSA
has searched the bags. If not, lock the bags with zip ties. If the TSA cuts
off the zip tie to search your bag, they will replace it. You will still need
the travel locks to lock your bags in the hotel and during the expedition. Generally, you will take two duffels up to Base Camp, and leave the
third in the hotel in Kathmandu with your belongings for time in the
city. ONE of the duffels going up to Base Camp can be sent on ahead
(with items not needed for the trek in, such as climbing gear) and this
bag will not be seen until we arrive at Base Camp. The other will be
accessible during the trek in the evenings (with items that are needed for
the trek in such as changes of clothing, sleeping bag). SO it’s easy – 1st
bag is with you, the 2nd is ahead going up to BC and the 3rd is left
behind for afterward – 3 duffels!
