Alpine climbing in cold weather often requires conscious effort to keep things from freezing, including yourself. Layers with a hood are an easy and quick way to add warmth but be wary of too many hoods as they can obscure your field of vision and your ability to hear your partner. I choose which layers I actually want a hood for and the others I opt to go hoodless, saving weight and bulk. For me, these hooded layers typically are: fleece layer, the hood sits tightly around the head and can be stretched over the helmet in a pinch or under the helmet for better warmth/weather protection. Hardshell jacket, a hood is critical for when the weather gets nasty. Puffy jacket, a hood in this layer adds substantial warmth and is not often worn while climbing. If using the double lightweight puff layering option, consider the larger sized one with a hood and the smaller one (to be worn while climbing) sans hood. Pockets are used to keep important items accessible for on-the-go efficiency, such as snacks, phone, and sunscreen. Chest pockets on internal layers are especially nice as they keep items warm, so bars are edible and your phone stays charged. Handwarmer pockets on the other hand often interfere with your harness, climbing specific layers shouldn’t have these. https://www.splitteralpine.com/blog/alpine-climbing-footwear monthly 0.5 2021-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624305230737-RPGMCG0G65A26X9LCIRD/Ice-climbing-boots Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624295544394-K67YM3P636EAXQZZ8MSC/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+11.03.24+AM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624297044741-IN846NSYOA5GEAP3TN5E/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+11.34.36+AM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624297052803-04XWY175JN7FQ0XLQ5WA/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+11.36.31+AM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624298642411-BXRF8DN5AFNHD6PTGG0C/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+12.03.39+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624300087399-JNHPM0D6LVP93VZY6ODA/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+12.26.47+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624300081241-R1R4J87VICNKE0UM5VKE/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+12.27.42+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624300279463-YG2N2MNUUI11ORWO1MRL/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+12.30.39+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624300279453-A82TMG9147AB0EMHFLJ1/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+12.30.15+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624301197662-PBC1ILEEIH7J12ZGN6XQ/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+12.45.54+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624301060802-QBCEG5M0N1WLOH1ZMLCW/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+12.16.42+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624301358681-MZL71FBKSQDQP2XDHSO8/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+10.25.11+AM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624301073788-J6R7FOMEGBD9YW697UVX/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+12.42.40+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624301073730-8N70M31CN3MDI367MA3N/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+12.43.53+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624302487160-1I3S2WRYLFI2FAH1MIBS/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+1.07.17+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624302487293-5E30ZXQL7H916ANHJ0SB/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+1.07.40+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624302486579-17CVZRETAGV0OR2RS9W0/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+1.05.50+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1624302486618-BZG0ZO6T70CCR8BEL004/Screen+Shot+2021-06-21+at+1.06.57+PM.png Resources - A Guide To Alpine Climbing Footwear https://www.splitteralpine.com/blog/tag/Equipment monthly 0.5 https://www.splitteralpine.com/blog/tag/Alpine+Climbing monthly 0.5 https://www.splitteralpine.com/faq daily 0.75 2025-04-11 https://www.splitteralpine.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1592338158572-M6ZAZ9KRQ9NVB4HTCJ3O/Ice-climbing-Cimarron-mountains Contact https://www.splitteralpine.com/about daily 0.75 2024-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1602520281922-38PTQAS0QOZ68A9LVBTU/Ice-climbing-Telluride-Bridalveil-Falls About - About Splitter Splitter Alpine Adventures is a custom mountain guiding service specializing in technical climbing instruction and private guided ascents of classic routes around the world.

A major personal accomplishment and completely unrelated to climbing, Micah worked with his father-in-law and wife for 1.5 years to build their home themselves. It's from this location that Micah is now able to climb rock, ice, and mountains year-round. He has been guiding since 2007 and travels every year to Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and the desert Southwest for climbing and guiding. When Micah isn't guiding he is excited to play and trail run in the mountains with his wonderful and supportive wife, Hilary and their Pitbull/Cattledog/rescue dog, Shakti. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1602521309406-RRE4W8IJ6ARW3OQO0ZLP/AMGA-Alpine-Guide About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1602521339446-T510ZO8LSY7CTHA9AZOM/AMGA-Rock-Guide About https://www.splitteralpine.com/error daily 0.75 2024-10-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecacdcd9d9c412a9d8ec74e/1606162380294-MUOSMOLFU8PD7PETIMP3/Ice-climbing-gear 404 Error - Ooops!
