markwebster Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I tend to forget stuff when I go on climbing trips, so I made a list: Packing list for climbing trips It should be print friendly. If you have ideas for adding to it, I'd love to hear them! Quote
telemarker Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I didn't see cooler full of beer. Sierra Nevada Torpedo preferably. I also bring a few heavy duty pain pills (percocet/vicodin) for just in case moments. Not sure entirely necessary... Nice list! Edited March 2, 2014 by telemarker Quote
ivan Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 bug head-net - the only way to endure the mozzies when they're at warp 9 levels birth control's a nice touch - i rely on my natural, inner ugliness though, much lighter Quote
mountainsandsound Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I didn't see cooler full of beer. Sierra Nevada Torpedo preferably. That's a good one for a bivy. But on one occasion the serious hop content combined with a dehydrated Indian food dinner was unreal. Anyway, glad to see I'm not the only one with a list. Quote
Drederek Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I've only driven to Idaho once without the guidebook, its on the list now! Quote
markwebster Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Hey Mark...wet ones, beer, paper towels, I think of them as groceries. It would be nice to add Fireball though... Mosquito net is something I should add. It lives in my pack and should be on the list. There is no chair on the list because needing one would mean I'm getting old. I like my drunk chair: make a "T" with two peices of firewood. If you can't balance on it, you've had too many Mikes. Quote
BootsandPants Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Got skis on there, but how about ski boots? I know it seems obvious, but I've learned my lesson that nothing is obvious at 4am when getting ready. Quote
markwebster Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 BootsandPants: good tip, I changed it to skis, boots and poles. rob: Yes, people drink Fireball...in quantity...but maybe I hang with too many dirtbags. I added a "print friendly" click function, after which it fits on standard copy paper. Keep the additions coming! You guys get out in the mountains more than me. Quote
ivan Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 i don't go anywhere w/o my "spare parts" container - my friends seem to always be the ones supplying the nuts n' bolts though... Quote
wfinley Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Oddly enough I was in a ski hut this weekend and someone pulled out bottle of Fireball. Nasty stuff.... Quote
Pete_H Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Pretty sure it's a favorite of teenage girls and frat boys. Most climbers I know drink single malt or bourbon. Quote
denalidave Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Shit kits... TP, baby wipes, paper towel and white garbage bags stored in "single serving" Ziploc baggie. Quote
sepultura Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Truth is, nothing goes down as easy in the alpine as a flask of smooth Canadian Hunter, and easy on the pocket book too. Ask a mountain guide...Gordo Fausto always pack a jug for clients and friends! Gordo knows, and now so do you! Quote
JasonG Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 That's right! Gordo says, "Always pack the Hunter!" Quote
Pete_H Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Canadian Hunter is pretty good too but I wouldn't think hunting Canadians would be all that hard. Quote
G-spotter Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Yes you would Pete, cause while you Americans are packing your purses with the checklist of 40 essentials, I just stuff some extra awesome in my toque and I'm good to go. Quote
Pete_H Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Yes you would Pete, cause while you Americans are packing your purses with the checklist of 40 essentials, I just stuff some extra awesome in my toque and I'm good to go. Just be sure to call your mum first. Quote
lightnfast Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 First of all it's great to know that the Hunter is loved by many; hard to find a cheaper, better cure for what ails you. Fireball, in my experience, is for people who want to say 'I drink whiskey!' but can't really drink whiskey. But I have a certain affinity for Hot Tamales, and Fireball is essentailly a liquid version that also inebriates me, so I'll take a pull if offered one. In my experience Canadians are too busy climbing harder than me, downplaying their achievments, or just generally being hard to bother with checklists (but I freaking love lists). Quote
BootsandPants Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Canadian Hunter; going to have to try that. Single malt is usually too spendy for the ones I like, and fireball just makes me do stupid things... I'd also like to point out that 17/25 replies to this thread are related to whisky. I'm glad to see everyone has their priorities straight. Quote
