climbing gear
Mountaineer's essential tools
Climbing gear is the equipment used for rock climbing, mountaineering, and similar activities.
The term covers ropes, harnesses, carabiners, helmets, and specialized hardware like cams and nuts that anchor into rock.
Make sure you check all your climbing gear before the ascent.
In casual use, it may also include clothing and footwear: I need to pick up some climbing gear before the trip.
