If you plan on doing much rock climbing, you’re going to need some climbing equipment. Though renting climbing shoes from your climbing gym is a great way to get into the sport, once you’re hooked you’re going to need some of your own gear. How much climbing equipment you buy and what sort you get will depend on both your commitment to the sport and what sort of climbing you plan on doing.

Every rock climber is going to need two basic pieces of equipment: climbing shoes and a chalk bag. Climbing shoes are the most important piece of climbing equipment and you should spend a good deal of time looking for the right pair for you. There are lots of choices, from slip-on, down-cambered technical shoes to lace-ups that you can comfortably wear all day, it may take awhile to make a decision. Be sure that whatever climbing shoes you buy that they fit properly. Climbing shoes should be very snug; most climbers wear the smallest size they can fit into without completely curling their toes. If you buy your shoes too loose you’ll lose sensitivity and have sloppy footwork, but if you buy them too tight you’ll be in pain every time you go climbing. A chalk bag and chalk is indispensable in keeping your hands dry on the rock; when your hands get sweaty you’ll start to slip off of holds. Though some gyms and crags outlaw the use of chalk, it’s acceptable in most areas and pretty much required any time it gets warm.

Though climbing shoes and a chalk bag are all the climbing equipment you need to start with, if you plan on doing any roped climbing you’ll soon want your own harness. With harnesses you won’t have as many choices, and usually fit and comfort are the most important features. When testing harnesses, try to find somewhere where you can sit in the harness for awhile, since a harness that feels comfortable when walking around the store may not be so comfortable when you’re setting up a hanging belay.

Speaking of belays, another important piece of climbing equipment is the belay device. Though opinions differ, a tube-style belay device like the ATC (air traffic controller) is pretty standard, with a few manufacturers producing variations on the theme. If you’re planning on doing much outdoor climbing you’ll probably want a rope as well. Your first climbing rope should be a dynamic rope (allowing you to lead climb with it) and can either be dry treated or not, the decision is usually dependant on local climbing conditions and climate.
