Everest

Gear for the Top of the World

Everest's South Col route asks for the warmest kit in mountaineering: 8,000-meter boots, a down suit, −40°F sleeping bags and a layering system that works from the Khumbu trek to the summit at 29,032 feet. This collection is built from the personal gear lists guide services publish for a guided South Col expedition.
