Alpine Kit • Whatever your level of alpine climbing experience, you always want to head up high with the best gear you can get your hands on. That way you can focus on the objective ahead, instead of the possibility of gear failing.

Alpine Boots • A good pair of boots can help make your alpine climb experience not suck, so find the ones that will work best with your feet. Break them in before heading up high—you don’t want blisters at the start of a multi-day climb.

Approach Shoes • Some alpine climbs don’t require burly boots, just a pair of lightweight approach shoes that you can toss in your pack. Here are some great options for 2023.
