mountain gear

Alpinist's essential kit

Mountain gear is equipment used for climbing, hiking, or mountaineering—ropes, carabiners, crampons, ice axes, harnesses, and similar items.

The term covers both technical climbing equipment and general outdoor gear for high-altitude or rugged terrain: We loaded up the mountain gear before dawn.

Also called climbing gear or mountaineering equipment.
