Downsuits & Parkas
I generally moved into my downsuits around 7000 metres. Up to there it was windsuits. Once in my downsuit, it didn't come off until I was back to down to warmer temps, so I wanted suits that were highly technical, adjustable, comfortable and warm. All of the suits below proved themselves on the highest peaks in the world.
Down Parkas - same deal. They are all top of the range with the best down filling available.

Here is the manufacturer's description.
"Our most advanced and carefully-crafted high-altitude climbing suit yet. We worked with the world's most accomplished alpinists to redesign this suit from the ground up, refining features from oxygen mask-compatibility to a unique internal suspender system. This design was made with the highest level of focus on functionality, simplicity, and durability and has been put to the ultimate test in the Khumbu Valley. Bringing it back to our proving grounds, we've ensured that mountaineers can have complete confidence in their kit and their chances of success on summit day.

Windsuits
Windsuits are one of my favourite bits of kit at high altitude. Not only do they cut the wind but they simplify the whole system. No bulky overlap of shell jacket and pants, no blocking your vision of what's on your harness, no riding down of your overpants, less weight overall. And with built in extra long side zips or a dedicated bum zip, no having to take your jacket off to get your salopettes down for toileting. I wore these to 7000 metres with a couple of base layers underneath, then changed directly into my downsuit for higher altitudes, keeping the same base layers underneath the downsuit.

Summit 8000 -the story of my quest to climb all fourteen 8000 metre peaks.
AUD$40
Summit 8000
Life and Death with Australia's Master of Thin Air
'BRILLIANT! Honest, gritty and remarkable.'—Sir Chris Bonington, mountaineer and author.
Publisher's description - "A thrilling memoir of the spectacular high-altitude mountaineering achievements of Andrew Lock: the only Australian to have summited all fourteen 8000-metre peaks in the world, including Mount Everest—twice.
We learn 'why does he do it?' Why does anyone take on such a challenge, knowing how easily they might be killed? Andrew Lock gives us a gripping account of his death-defying ascents and explains his passion for climbing in small teams, or solo, without Sherpas or bottled oxgyen. His story is one of extraordinary passion, self-motivation, perseverance and resilience, as he leads us through his sixteen-year odyssey to achieve the Grand Slam of Himalayan mountaineering.
We are taken through the victories, the near-misses and the tragedies. The intense human drama of the expeditions infuses Summit 8000—funny, fierce and always fascinating stories about survival, climbing rivalries and mountaineering politics. The remote and stunning landscapes and cultures that Andrew encounters on his journeys add rich texture to his tale, culminating in his 2014 trip to Everest, where he was witness to the deadliest avalanche in the peak's history."

The North Face VE25 3 Person
Expedition Tent. AUD$1200

The tent I am selling has been used once and is in as new condition. It has an aftermarket snow valance around the entire tent for extra weather protection.
Manufacturers price AUD$1650
My price AUD$1200 - includes footprint, aftermarket snow valance and complete spare set of poles.
Manufacturer's description - "Our premier three-person tent, part of Summit Series™ designed for expeditions and tested by our team of athletes in extreme conditions. It's made from durable nylon with a ripstop weave in the canopy and a water-resistant finish on the fly and floor. DAC poles and stakes are exceptionally strong for their weight and the design itself helps to withstand powerful winds. It's easy to pitch, even when the weather isn't behaving, thanks to a combination of pole sleeves and clips. Dual entry comes in pretty handy when snow and wind create snow drifts at one end of the tent. And once you're in, there's plenty of storage space, including hanger loops for damp clothing and a large vestibule for bigger packs. Colour-coded zip pulls glow in the dark and the high-strength guy lines are reflective, so you can find your way home after a long day on the wall. Pitching in snow is not a problem either, as four snow stakes are included and if winds turn gale force, there are welded reinforcements at critical points in the fly sheet. And if your trip isn't about one basecamp, it's relatively light at 4.82kg (fast pack weight is just 2.96kg) so you can take it on the move.
