A rack for a beginner 29-Dec-2009 At 1:32:11 PM mikepatt

When I started climbing in Sydney I relied quite a lot on mates gear. You'll find out what you like etc. I started buying the odd bit here and there when the shops had sales and often I'd buy specific pieces for specific climbs (First cam, 1 /12 WC flexi friend, bought to lead Prof Wigginsworth at Barrenjoey) Despite a reasonable income I didn't buy the 'full rack' option and not a lot of climbers I climbed with did either. I do think a rope is essential when starting out, especially I you end up spending a lot of time hanging on a rope. Incidentaly I started off with 6 quick draws and didn't increase the for sometime. As above threads, what gear you need will depend on where/what you climb.
