ICE SEASON OPENER EQUIPMENT LIST

MMA will supply most of the technical gear needed for the program; Crampons, Ice Tools, Harnesses, and Helmets. Please bring any gear you have and/or extras for others to use.

PARTICIPANTS MUST PROVIDE THEIR OWN BOOTS • These can be rented at Northern Lights, or Prolite Gear. It is also worth checking Second Wind Sports for a used pair, or borrowing from a friend.

Below is a list of items not supplied. The weather can change dramatically when ice climbing so dress warmly with wicking materials: do not wear cotton!
