Frequently Asked Questions
At minimum: a harness, a helmet, climbing shoes, a belay device with a locking carabiner, and a rope. Sport climbing adds quickdraws. Most people start in a gym, then move outside with a guide, club or experienced partner who can teach them anchors and rope management.
A 9.8 mm single rope is durable and easy to handle, which suits top-roping, beginners and working routes. A 9.5 mm rope is lighter and runs more smoothly for longer sport leads. Thinner ropes like the 8.7 mm are for experienced climbers on hard redpoints, because they wear faster and need a careful belayer.
If you climb in wet or dirty conditions, yes. Dry treatment helps the rope resist water and grit, so it stays lighter and handles better when damp. That's useful in Tasmania, on sea cliffs and in alpine terrain. For dry inland crags, a classic (non-dry) rope does the job and costs less.
How to choose rock climbing gear
• Rope. A 9.8 mm rope is the hard-wearing choice for top-roping, working routes and gym-to-crag climbers. A 9.5 mm rope is lighter for longer sport routes. "Dry" versions resist water and dirt, which helps on wet days and sea cliffs. "Duodess" ropes change pattern at the middle, so the halfway point is easy to find.How to choose rock climbing gear

Outdoor climbing gear for Australian crags
Australian rock varies a lot: Arapiles sandstone, the Blue Mountains, Frog Buttress in south-east Queensland, Tasmanian dolerite and sea cliffs. Long walk-ins and walk-outs mean a climbing head torch belongs in every pack, and dry-treated ropes earn their price in Tassie wet and coastal salt. In Queensland summer, start early and carry more water than you think. If you're new to outdoor climbing, learn rope work and anchors with a guide or club before you climb on your own.
