What to bring
The leader will be in touch before the event to ensure that between us we bring enough climbing gear, guidebooks etc. At a minimum you will need to bring your own climbing shoes, and arrange with the leader in advance if you need to borrow a helmet and/or climbing harness.
What to Wear
It is best to wear either shorts, combats or tracksuit bottoms. No jeans or any form of trouser which hampers movement. A t-shirt or vest is also suitable.
Bring a warmer layer in case it cools down later in the evening.
Any jewellery such as rings, watches, chains or bangles should be removed before climbing to prevent injury.
Food & drink
Bring something to eat during the evening and plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
