Emily Harrington, 31, is a five-time U.S. sport climbing champion, but in recent years\u00a0the Tahoe-based climber has expanded her resume by summiting Everest, free climbing El Cap, and adventuring through Myanmar during a summit bid on Southeast Asia\u2019s tallest peak.<\/p>\n

All the traveling has been fun, but hard, so Harrington\u00a0relies on a specific\u00a0set of gear to make\u00a0things easier. \u00a0\u201cHaving a few comforts from home always helps me feel healthier and more relaxed and the bit of extra baggage is worth it to me,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are the nine items she always travels with.<\/p>\n

Phone<\/h2>\n

I don\u2019t go anywhere without my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+<\/a>. The battery lasts a long time and the camera is amazing. It does everything for me. \u00a0<\/p>\n

I have been super motivated to learn Spanish lately. I use a combination of Spanish learning apps like Duolingo<\/a>, Spanish music that I listen to on repeat and then translate\u00a0online, and a few podcasts like “News in Slow Spanish” and “Coffee Break Spanish.” I am also attempting to read Harry Potter<\/a><\/em> in Spanish.<\/p>\n

I love the Petzl Volta Guide rope<\/a> (9.0 mm). It\u2019s super light for fast multi-pitch climbing. \u00a0<\/p>\n

I have to take care of my skin to maintain a climbing lifestyle. My skin kit includes climbing tape<\/a>, nail clippers<\/a>, cuticle clippers, sandpaper for sanding calluses, and Super Glue<\/a> for covering up splits and keeping the tape on. \u00a0<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m car camping I use a Dolomite Double<\/a> sleeping bag from The North Face, which is meant for two people but I sleep in it by myself as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m traveling somewhere where\u00a0I will be staying in a hotel and can\u2019t train in a climbing gym easily, I bring my portable hangboard set up: an extendable pull-up bar that goes between a door frame, resistance bands, and a portable hang board, like this one from Awesome Woodys<\/a>. Then I can do hotel room workouts and not stress so much about losing finger strength when I\u2019m on the road.<\/p>\n
