dV requirement for Gilly orbit?

[thereaverofdarkness]

Can someone tell me the dV requirement to get from Gilly surface to LGO? And what is a good altitude for a low orbit, to miss the highest peaks? Thanks in advance!

About 35m/s. Simply by jumping you will be halfway to orbit.

Highest peak is just over 6400m.

Very little, needless to say.

Pretty sure you can still get to Gilly orbit with your EVA pack. A while back, Scott Manley showed how you could return to Kerbin from Gilly's surface using just the EVA pack (and an EVA parachute mod.) I'm not sure if that's still possible, but it is still pretty awesome.

You need so little fuel I don't even consider the delta-v requirement for my missions there. I believe 35 m/s is for both landing and taking off btw. So surface to orbit would be about 18 m/s.

It's still true. You can get from low Minmus orbit to surface and back to orbit on one EVA pack. It's not even just a Scott Manley stunt, I've done it myself. (Then again I fly with almost as much skill as Scott Manley.) You should be able to get to Gilly orbit and back to surface several times on one EVA pack.
