Equipment needed:

  • Climbing helmet, harness, climbing shoes (Available for hire from ROC gear room)
  • Food and water for the day
  • Clothing appropriate for the weather and terrain including appropriate footwear for the walk-in
  • Sun protection/Waterproofs
  • Backpack
    Gear available for hire from gear room if required (open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6;30-7:30pm)
