Equipment List

Winter Programs

Dressing for winter activities can be tricky. If you dress too warmly, you sweat. If you dress too

lightly, you freeze. Dressing in layers that can be quickly added or taken off is important. Please do

not wear cotton as it loses its insulating value if it gets wet. Petra Cliffs will provide all group gear

and technical equipment (boots, ice axes, crampons, harness, helmet, ropes, beacon, shovel, probe).

Please feel free to ask ahead of time about the clothing layers you are choosing and how they will

perform.

Day Trips

__Backpack: large enough to fit extra layers, food, water, and a bit of extra room for gear

** School book bags are too small! * May be rented

__Synthetic or wool long underwear top and bottom (base layer)

__Wool or fleece sweater (insulating layer)

__Breathable, waterproof jacket and pants (outer layer)

__Down or synthetic parka (if you own one, this is a superb layer to put on when you are not active)

__Heavy wool or fleece socks

__Gloves: 2 pair is ideal: 1 pair of warm, waterproof ice/ski gloves, 1 pair of warm, waterproof mittens

__Wool or fleece hat (that will fit under a helmet—no balls on top!)

__Balaclava or neck warmer

__Sunglasses

__Lunch with extra snacks (think about food that won’t freeze—pb & j, leftover pizza are classic)

__Insulated water bottles (an extra wool sock is a good insulator): 2 Liters

Optional but recommended:

your pant layers) * May be rented
