Advice on buying gear.
We have had quite a few new, young climbers join the club lately, some have started to buy gear and I’m always being asked the million (well not quite that much) dollar question; what gear do I need?
This can be broken down into:
Beginner Kit (Indoor Climbing)
Novices – Outdoor 2nd’ing routes only
Novice Leader – Outdoor (Sport)
Novice Leader – Outdoor (Trad)
Additional Items – for when you are advancing up the grades.
These are my thoughts, but if anyone has others please let me know and I can update these lists.
Here is a list of shops that I have used over the last 3 years.
