Steve House discusses Mountaineering Gear he used during the ascent of the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat






Steve House goes through the gear he and partner Vince Anderson used on their alpine-style first ascent of the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat in September, 2005.

This is a great overview of the mountaineering gear involved in a technical climb. Steve discusses his preferences for ropes, ice axes, crampons, boots, screws, protection, cooking systems, and more.

He also shows you some of the modifications he makes on his gear.

Steve and Vince were awarded the 2005 Piolet d’Or Award, recognizing the significance of this innovative route climbed in a clean and committed style.
