Essential gear for your first day of climbing

For a first day you don't need to buy a whole shop. The technical gear — rope, harness, helmet, climbing shoes and everything needed to belay — I provide, so you can give it a go without investing all at once.

You take care of the personal kit: layered clothing, a windproof jacket, a cap, sun cream, water and some energy food. Comfortable approach shoes make the walk to the wall much nicer.

If in doubt, message me before the outing and we'll go through the list together. Travelling light and well prepared is half the activity done.
