A couple of climbing enthusiasts spill the beans about all the best practices in rock climbing and bouldering.
If you are going to take climbing seriously you need what every good climber has:
A kickass chalk bag.
For those new to climbing, chalk bags are pretty self-explanatory.
During climbs, your hands can sometimes get clammy or sweaty which can lead to slipping on hold. You use the chalk to dry them out and make sure you can get as much friction as possible.
The best climbing slings are made from a bizarre material that’s 20 times stronger than steel.
There’s also some high quality nylon slings that I recommend.
High quality climbing webbing isn’t expensive.
The absolute best webbing only comes in purple, but there are some good alternatives with more color options.
So you’ve have decided, laces are choice for you.
Who needs the struggle of the slip-on or a fight with Velcro.
Now the only thing remains is which pair to get? With so much choice out there, I have narrowed it down to 5 pairs that I wouldn’t recommend overlooking.
Save your carabiners! There’s no need to leave them behind.
Rappel rings are the cheapest way to set up a rappel station. They’re also ridiculously light.
Don’t settle for any less than one of these.
There’s some amazing climbing carabiners out there that have everything you could ever want in a carabiner.
