Killer set up bra.

First thing you need is your avy gear, its essental for your area. I would suggest a 50ft rope with dirrectional arrows attacehd to your waist ... its old school as fuck, way cheaper than a beacon, and you can use it to rappel into all the steep couloirs you will be hitting.

Be sure to pack lots of beer and smokes. most people just chill and smoke darts, why wait for the apres? its 2014.. apres is NOW!

If its cold or wet out, you are going to want to put XXL wind breaker pants over top of your jeans .. I know, you are going to have to cover up the jeans ... but the steeze flapping will bring the bitches in like a moose call.

After that, things whould be money. Shred on!
