Hi guys
I am a COMPLETE BEGINNER when it comes to mountaineering/alpinism, but i want to climb Dent du Geant this summer. Is this realistic?
SOME BACKGROUND INFO.
I currently hike once a week for multiple hours, 10+ kilometers and around 800-1200 meters of elevation. Besides that i also strength train often.
I have also climbed a lot of top rope, however only inside/in a gym, and i have done a lot of skiing around 3000 meters with no problems.
I will be acclimatized on the day, and i will be going with guide.
Is it realistic that i can do this? On a scale of 1-10? (1 being, not even if my life depended on it)

Hi!
Is it true that the mountain huts in the alps are generally warm enough to JUST bring a sleeping bag liner? And no actual sleeping bag?

Hello! You guys have been the best at helping me find the right gear so far, and here i am again, hoping for your help!
I am going to the alps this summer to do some 4000+ meter peaks. But i still need to find softshell pants, and gloves (yes gloves, mitts is not an option).
I am split between the following softshell pants:
Mammut Courmayeur SO.
Rab ascendor AS.
Rab torque mountain.
OR Cirque 2 or 3.
Which one would you pick in general? Which one would you pick if you tend to run cold?

And for gloves i am split between:
Rab Guide (2).
Hestra heli-ski-5 finger.
My hands run REALLY COLD REALLY EASY. Any other recommendations for gloves? (Mitts is not an option).
There is no decathalon where i live :(
Any help is MUCH appriciated!
Thank you!

Hi guys!
I am going to do some mountaineering/alpinism in the alps this summer, to climb some 4000+ meter peaks. But i al split between the Mammut Trion 38, and the Osprey Mutant 38. The Mammut does not have that much back support, and no reversible hip-belt and i worry if its going to be a problem with the harness? But i really HATE the opening mechanism on the Osprey, and just the usage of it.
Which one should i get?
