ROCK CLIMBING
Dependent on location you may need the majority of the hill walking kit plus a bigger rucksack to put some climbing gear in.
If you have any rock climbing gear then feel free to bring it along- I will have a look at it before we use it to ensure it is suitable.
Otherwise I will provide all technical equipment such as harnesses, helmet and ropes etc. I have a small selection of rock shoes that I may be able to lend you but I may not have your size. Most people start their rock climbing career in training shoes.
GROUP GEAR
I'll bring along shared equipment including a group shelter and a first aid kit. I'm not a sherpa so you might end up helping me out by carrying one of the ropes!
