[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8384219, member: 6988941"] For inspiration I'd recommend the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser short story [I]Stardock[/I], most readily found in the [I]Swords against Wizardry[/I] collection, in which our two intrepid heroes attempt to ascend the tallest mountain on their fantasy continent (with a wildcat animal companion). One particular plot point of interest and consequence was the decision to bury all their extraneous gear in a hidden location near the base of the mountain before the attempt. Personally rather than just pick on the heavy armor guy I would penalize all the characters who insisted on trying to climb while encumbered with a bunch of extra gold, weapons, and adventuring gear (provided they could reasonably accomplish their mission without lots of gear and you or the NPC guides make the DM's stance on it clear). Though if you do encourage them to leave their gear resist the impulse to have someone steal it provided they take reasonable precautions. Personally I find the points in a campaign where you have to figure out how to make do with limited equipment some of the most interesting and engaging. [/QUOTE]
