climbing equipment

Rock scaling supplies

Climbing equipment refers to the gear used for ascending rock faces, ice walls, mountains, or indoor climbing walls.

The category includes ropes, harnesses, carabiners, helmets, and specialized footwear.

More technical climbs require protection devices like cams and nuts that anchor into cracks: Make sure you inspect your climbing equipment before each ascent.
