 Jett have supplied Paul and Fiona with heat vests to use on their 2007 Expedition. Paul will wear it under his down suit above C3. This product has won many awards, but it hasn’t been tested in the extreme cold of high altitude mountaineering, so we are interested to see how it performs. We used Hotronic foot warmers in 2006 and were very impressed with them, so hopefully the vest will work well.

  Gu
Sports and Blueline Sports for providing Gu
Energy gels and sports drinks for us to use
while on Everest. We've found these
products to be very useful for long rides
and races, and
believe that they will be of even greater benefit
for long days of climbing when our energy is
low and we need something quick and easy to
digest.

 Bogong Equipment supplied much of our high altitude climbing equipment at a discounted price, including our Millet Down suits. Their knowledgeable and friendly staff were always happy to help out with our requests for obscure gear.

 Telemark
Pyrenees were
extremely helpful in finding the best
crampons for Paul's Everest Millet boots.
Unfortunately there was not a huge range
available in Australia, and they were able
to confirm what would work best and ship to
us. They also provided a range of other
equipment.
