I'm an avid backpacker and hiker and I've climbed plenty of smaller mountains but never any technical trails or with any significant amount of snow. I'm trying to transition into doing some beginner's mountaineering trips. Any advice? I was thinking of picking up a Black Diamond Raven or a CAMP Corsa axe, some Kahtoola microspikes, and maybe an HMG pack if I feel like I need something more substantial. I currently use a frameless rolltop for backpacking. Currently reading Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills and some others.
