This is
a list of all the gear I find necessary to go single or multi-pitch
sport climbing.
Gear:
-harness
-belay
device (ATC Guide or Petzl Reverso 4 style) with 2 locking pear-shaped carabiners, the extra for belaying
from the top
-prussik
for backing up rappels, attach to belay loop using extra carabiner
with belay device, I use 6mm, maybe 1m long loop.
-nylon
runner for extending rappels
-10-15
quick draws, some extendible or extra long (not all the same length)
-personal
anchoring system (some options are: 2m dynamic rope and 2 pear-shaped
locking carabiners; two nylon runners with 2 D-shaped locking
carabiners(do not use dyneema!); use quickdraws (not recommended); purchase a pre-built anchoring system)
This is necessary for multi-pitch while establishing rappels
-2
double length slings plus 4 D-shaped locking carabiners for building
an equalized anchor (x2 for multi-pitch)
-dynamic
climbing rope with middle mark
-crag
pack and/or rope bag
Head:
-helmet
-headlamp
-warm
hat
Body:
-base
layer
-synthetic shirt
-synthetic shirt
-synthetic
warm layer
-rain
jacket
Hands:
-chalk
bag
-gloves
for in between climbs
-hand
warmers for chalk bag during cold days
Legs:
-synthetic,
stretchy pants
-base
layer
Feet:
-wool
socks
-sturdy
hiking shoes/boots for approach and belay
-rock
climbing shoes (nice to be able to wear socks with shoes for cold
days)
Some variations are certainly possible and I do not make any claims of exhaustiveness. Climb safe, y'all!
