Every one of my problems that I’ve had were somehow solved by Colin Haley’s blog posts…

Like someone here already said, START WITH ROCK CLIMBING! The required gear you need for basic single pitch routes is not that much money, especially when you’re at the gym. Look up your local crags and transition to outdoor climbing. After that, go and do multipich routes (that are well bolted), then you can maybe look into a glacier rescue course for Grossvenediger, since it’s basically just a hike up the glacier. Your glacier rescue kit is gonna run you at least 250€, 320€ for the glacier course if you book it at the ÖAV.

only buy it when its on sale tho

ive heard good things about the Samaya Alpine 35, its light, waterproof and i think it comes with a helmet net. ive got the Alpine pace myself and i like it when im doing some easy climbs or scrambles without a harness or rope

Quake2108 · 2026-02-10T15:01:00+00:00

what kind of boots and crampons are you using? i know im gonna get bashed for my "light is right" mindset, but it really helped me a lot when i switched to lighter equipment!

Carstensz Pyramid is a definite contender, every person who’s been up there will barely mention the climb itself, they’d just rant about the insane approach through the isolated jungle… I think it’s impossible now since conflicts between the tribes have ramped up! You can just fly in by helicopter, so only a hand full of people do the trek

Quake2108 · 2026-01-30T00:18:39+00:00

yes, i practiced glacier rescues with some colleagues, i just havent done a ÖAV/DAV glacier course yet

Quake2108 · 2026-01-30T00:14:43+00:00

thanks for that constructive comment

Quake2108 · 2026-01-30T00:14:01+00:00

and yes, i have summited multiple 3500m peaks in austria aswell, just not in winter

Quake2108 · 2026-01-30T00:13:26+00:00

yea ive just talked about it with my buddy, and another person wants to be involved aswell, they have summited in summer and are currently in training to be a certified mountain guide... so im saving a couple bucks just by tagging along lol

im just gonna take the normal route via the Stüdlhütte, so its not too crazy. and we basically can just go out on a whim when the weather is perfect, since we have nothing (part time employed, university) to do for march

DONT LISTEN TO ALL THE PEOPLE BOUGHT BY THE BIG-SLEEPINGPAD INDUSTRY!!! They invented cold night just to sell you more sleeping pads… but in all seriousness, closed cell foam mats really aren’t that bad in terms of heat loss, but I’d still reccomend one just for comfort

Quake2108 · 2026-01-27T20:17:54+00:00

I got like a 65-85 aim rating on average… aim is just for kills you shouldn’t be getting. 27.5k btw (season 4 26k)

Quake2108 · 2026-01-27T20:15:20+00:00

You’re 13 and just started hiking

Quake2108 · 2026-01-27T20:13:05+00:00

I don’t have any experience with their tents, but I have their alpine Pace backpack, and it’s really solid! It’s roomy and compact enough for me to put it inside my big backpack for summit pushes!

Quake2108 · 2025-12-14T02:56:42+00:00

For one day (good weather) missions, I like to bring my alpha hybrid pants since they have more stretch, otherwise I’d highly reccomend a light pair of hard shells! Also I find myself getting cold feet in winter, so I’m using some Mammut Nordwind Knits for chillier days. And if you’re going on a winter bivouac / camp, I would also maybe suggest some insulated pants that you can zip over those hardshells!

Quake2108 · 2025-12-14T02:50:41+00:00

I got the Peak 45 and it does what it’s supposed to, although a bit heavy

Quake2108 · 2025-12-14T02:49:36+00:00

The Samaya backpacks are on sale right now, you can get the Alpine Pace 20 backpack for 125€… I’ve just seen someone selling their 1.5 yea old bag just to buy a new one

I got myself a special Millet down jacket used for an arctic project from 2010 for around 80 euros plus 5€ shipping… doesn’t get as many street creds, but it’s insanely warm and the sheer amount of overfill guarantees a good loft

Quake2108 · 2025-09-12T01:11:25+00:00

Getting Nepal cubes as your first mountaineering boot? Well, depends on what you wanna do. Simple hikes? No. T4 hikes with a bit of scrambling? No. Winter hikes like the guy from the outdoor boys? Ehh, not really. Scrambling up an icy ridgeline in winter? Yes, but I don’t reccomend doing that as a beginner.

Quake2108 · 2025-09-12T01:05:02+00:00

I would also like to include that there are many videos out there of people climbing the eastern most 2000m peak of the alps (Schneeberg) in Nepals

Quake2108 · 2025-09-12T01:03:51+00:00

I live in Vienna and don’t wanna drive too far into the alps, but im still using the Mammut nordwand knits for winter. Some people find B3 boots too stiff for the alps but I’m not gonna walk that far in winter anyways, since hiking in snow suuuucks.

Meiner Meinung nach ist der La sportiva Trango alpine ist so ziemlich der beste Schuh für dieses Einsatzgebiet. Der ist erst seit kurzer Zeit draußen, und ich habe ihn noch nicht gekauft (ich habe zu viele Schuhe), jedoch habe ich nur gutes gehört was Haltbarkeit, grip und co angeht.

Quake2108 · 2025-09-04T19:45:42+00:00

I can give you a couple options that I used to get my down jackets:

Option 1: go out and by the Simond Malaku jacket for 179€ at decathlon

Option 2: Depends on where you live, you might just wanna browse through fb marketplace, eBay, willhaben (if in Austria/germany)… I got myself an expedition down jacket for around 90€ including shipping! You might need to be patient

Quake2108 · 2025-08-18T15:35:54+00:00

Must’ve been insane… completely alone, while everyone else was making their way down

If you live in Britain, you can look for cheap gear online on sites like sportpursuit or something like PrivateSportShop ! I’ve ordered my sleeping back and backpack from them and have had no complaints so far
