What CLIMBING GEAR do you actually NEED to get STARTED?

In this video I break down what gear your really need to start climbing. What climbing gear you should buy first, and what gear you may want later on in your climbing career. When you first start climbing, the sheer amount of equipment available can be really overwhelming. I hope this video cuts through some of the confusion and provide clear simple checklist to help you buy your first climbing gear.

Happy Climbing!

Speaking of protecting gear for outdoor climbing: helmet! And i would recomend everyone not to buy shoes, harness and helmet online, but in a store, where you can try them on and make sure they fit. Otherwise very nice video, great production. Gonna check out more of your content :)

My son and I are working to get out of the gym this spring and I have started the daunting task of figuring out what I need to buy to start sport climbing. This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you, thank you! We also plan to take a top rope class before officially moving outside.

Very helpful, thanks. To those of us who never climbed, may eventually, however are working on graphic novels where the main characters frequently climb and spellunk, good to research a bit as to what is actually what in climbing gear before attempting to draw it in a story. This was precisely what I was looking for, a basic explanation of everything you need and how to use them, without a lot of fluff and unecessary filler as tends to happen whenever i try to research stuff my characters will be involved in that i know nothing about, to get the basics down without an extended course for a PhD in the subject matter. Thanks again.

Really good video I'm just getting into climbing already have shoes and a chalk bag. Not the cheapest sport but I hope it's worth it. Thanks for the advice.

I agree with @gisgler, well done presentation of the basic equipment except for the helmet. I don't know what's needed for gym climbing but outdoors a HELMET is ESSENTIAL for protecting your most important piece of equipment.

5:24 "When you're starting out just pick a cool color and move on." :) :) In these a few words so much wisdom is contained 😁
Thanks for the video!

This is a great video, I also like the format from going from most basic to most advanced gear, would you add a follow up with things you would need to multi pitch ==> Big wall?

In my area I would add the rope for indoor sportclimbing. From my experience you would only need some quickdraws extra for climbing outdoors. No need for other anchoring gear, you can just use two oppoising quickdraws for toproping on already bolted routes . Maybe buy one extra screwgate depending on how you clean the route, but I mostly do not use it.
