Gear - there's a lot!
6/3/2022 10:50:31 AM
To pass the time, we decided to write a list of all the gear that we've required during the expedition. For those of our readers, who are planning similar trips yourselves, this can serve as a reference. Some parts of the gear listed here is personal and some of them can be rented at will. This listing will also give quite a good overview of all the stuff that one needs to conquer the top of the world. The whole nine yards weighs about 100 kg. Oxygen bottles as well as all the foodstuff are missing from the list here. If you want to ask anything about either the gear or about the trip, you can reach us via info@ascensio.fi or from our Facebook-site.
