l wanna go ice climbing on either Mt. Hood or Mt. Rainer.l have climbed a ton of 12,000 feet mountains, but have never ice climbed.What gear do l need, where can l get it, and how much will it cost me total?Try to be specific, Thanks!

Sounds more like snow peak climbing & glacier travel than ice climbing - these r some of the items u would need to climb those peaks (much of this can be rented)

Boots - plastic r best, but a really good leather or synthetic pair made for crampons will work - $150 to $400, Crampons - really good ones maybe $200, Gators - $75, Axes - $150 to $250 each

The rest of the gear will probably be stuff u already have like clothing & shell, etc.

If u get everything from a discount site, u will probably pay less than half for most items
