Good call on the thermometer. I like this one: small, simple, accurate. I have given several as gifts. https://www.thermoworks.com/thermodrop/

Ultra-light folding pocket stove (Esbit type)

Mountaineers probably already know what exact gear they want or have so you probably aren't going to give them anything they already have or want.

I'd go with a calendar or gift card.

A gift card is always acceptable.
However, I've been surprised with items many times... many of which I listed.

Paracord
Tie downs
Emergency light
Plasma lighter
Long range whistle
Survival straw
Survival bivy

Hikers hike. They seldom shop unless its necessary.
