Feb 12 | Gear that made the Summit...

My suit and the 2-Meter Dome for the basecamp was my ‘flat’. And, two things: The Solar Flare sleeping bag because I knew I could use in basecamp and the last camp; and, the Spire 40 was a nice pack, not too big, because bigger you have, the more things you put in. The smaller it is, it’s not enough. So, the good compromise was the 40-liter. That’s why I love the new Spire 40. I had quite a nice color – yellow from the down suit and 2-Meter Dome and the green one of the pack.

"In winter the problem is not only the cold -- but it’s enough, one Himalayan Suit from The North Face and it will solve the problem." - Simone Moro, Alpinist
