Frequently asked questions:

I'm not confident. Can I really do it ?
We can set up the ropes for people who just want to top rope so you don't have to lead.

What gear should I bring ?
You will need:

- Harness. (MANDATORY)
- Helmet. (MANDATORY. No helmet, no climb)
- Belay device. (MANDATORY. Assisted-breaking belay device like Grigri (or equivalent) is preferred if you have one).
- Carabiners. (At least 3 or 4 for leaders, MANDATORY)
- Prussik. (Even if you feel invincible and confident bring one... and use it).
- Approach shoes and/or rock climbing shoes
- Personal Anchor System (optional). If you don't have one bring a 120cm sling or let me know.
- Whatever it takes to build anchors. (If you are planning to lead and build anchors)
- Camera
- Sunscreen, Glasses
- Inreach (if you have one)
- Layers (for wind, rain...)
- Snack/Lunch and enough water for the day (For a multi pitch it's always a good idea to have a camelbak system to minimize the risk of dropping something)

The trip leader will bring the ropes, quickdraws...
Please keep some space in your backpack to share the common gear.
