What's Next? Buying Gear

From the Committee Intro to Rock Climbing Manual

After you have completed the rock program, you will probably ask yourself, what now? Well there are a number of options available to you. Below you will find some suggestions.

Your first rock gear
Harness: be sure to try out several for the best fit.
Shoes: once again try several pairs on.
Belay Device
Locking Biner
Local Rock Guide Book


That will at least be enough for you to get started on your own and to join us on Tuesday and Wednesday nights for AMC climbs. Yet it really is just the minimum and the following should round out your climbing gear.

That setup at the very least will allow you to set your own rope and have many hours of hmmnnnn, staring at a cliff. Well actually we hope you made friends during the course and are out there climbing with them.

Your first toprope gear
50/60 meter rope
Webbing: various sizes
Locking biners: two at a minimum for your top rope set up.
