Performance Climbing Kit List
Here is a list of all the kit you may need during your course. We have a comprehensive stores department that can provide many items you may not have.
Climbing Kit
Whilst you will have your own climbing kit, we can provide anything you need from stores. We have full racks we can use in stores but please bring your own so you can climb on your own kit.
We will provide all climbing ropes for use during the course.
Personal Kit
The personal kit we have in stores is highlighted in red. The rest we ask you to bring.

- Approach shoes/Trainers. Shoes with good soles for walking to and from the crag.
- Climbing Clothes. Comfy and loose fitting/stretchy. Synthetic is better than cotton.
