Clothing for Denali
|
Hello, |
|
I've never climbed Denali, but some thoughts that don't require that experience are: |
|
No need for a heavy duty hard shell. I would take a very lightweight rain jacket. You will most likely not use this layer. |
|
my summit day layering was |
|
What Christoph said about wrapping the head of the ice axe is spot-on. I recommend just carrying a bit of synthetic handlebar wrap and just putting it on for summit day, otherwise it'll get trashed by the time you get up there. |
|
TNF baltoro jacket is the standard. Look at the specs. With sleeping bags and jackets you should see how many pounds of insulation is in them. Denali is cold and why suffer while you sleep. |

Thanks for the great info, I might just throw in a very lightweight windbreaker. Christoph our system is quite similar, you never got cold on the mountain? |
