When we intend to start, or-as inexperienced, as well as informed amateurs or as professionals and technicians with experience, an adventure of climbing, tools, basic equipment and essential to undertake these tasks are the first consideration we have to be performed. Without adequate technical infrastructure that meets the needs that the sport generates, we can not even think about planning a summit.


 But what is the infrastructure of material?, We will try to summarize briefly. First, quality and weight, these two factors decide in good average success of our initiative, without a material that meets minimum requirements regarding the composition of clothing and technical elements to use, we have secured at least the abandonment, the first chance, or something more serious, the added risk of an unnecessary accident. The personal equipment, clothing and footwear must take into account the weather conditions, difficulty of the challenge chosen, and an environment, especially in winter, and hostile. Accordingly, windbreaks, liners, pants and others that we intend to use must be made with thermo-protective materials, insulation, and is resilient enough, the scratch resistance and abrasion must be suitable to the environment, according to the chosen for the practice season, we will have to opt for protection by layers and thermal fiber mesh, whether it is winter, we can combine this with a breastplate also heat, allowing for breathable outer layer garments. The footwear for extreme conditions, with heavy snow and subzero temperatures, it should be decided by a plastic boot, these boots are made for an indoor section isolated as booty, and a plastic insulating outer casing is going to keep our bottle impervious to snow, water and moisture. The choice of a good sleeping bag, if we plan to spend the night in the mountains, is another essential element, we must opt for bags of natural or synthetic feathers in the latter case, prices are now more affordable in general, and isolation and comfort benefits of new fibers are truly spectacular. 

The technical section is composed, ice axes, sliders, crampons, forged ends, heel for crampons, fastening systems, poles, according to cases and backpacks with porta porta ice axes and crampons. Ropes, harnesses, bridles, helmets, and etc.. … That article we will breakdown of technical material.
