rock climbing gear

Crag ascent tools

Rock climbing gear is the specialized equipment used for ascending rock faces and cliffs.

The term covers a wide range of items: ropes, harnesses, carabiners, cams, nuts, quickdraws, helmets, and climbing shoes.

Some gear protects against falls; other gear aids the climb itself.

I need to pick up some rock climbing gear before the trip to Joshua Tree.
