climbing equipment

Climbing is one of those sports that feels equal parts exhilarating and terrifying, or at least it does until you’ve got your feet on the wall and your hands on the holds. From indoor bouldering gyms to rugged mountain faces, climbing offers challenge, excitement, and a healthy dose of adrenaline.

But for beginners, the sheer amount of equipment on the market can feel overwhelming. It sometimes looks as though you need an entire shop just to get started. The truth is, you don’t. Knowing your gear, what it does and what you actually need at the beginning is the key to building both confidence and safety as a climber.
