What do you think is the minimum amount of gear one would require for a mountain climbing trip?

Care to share what you would pack if you were going to climb a mountain in Nepal?

Depends what kind of peak youre climbing. If its a fairly easy going trekking peak the technical climbing gear youd need is at least: Goretex jacket,goretex pants/bib and brace, ice axe, 12 point crampons, good sunglasses, lots of sunscreen, mountaineering boots, karabiners, prussic ropes, ascender/jumar, belay device. you'll also need your normal gear like clothes, sleeping bag, trekking boots etc.
