so I'm teaching my buddy how to climb. Finally, hopefully I can add a new climbing buddy to the list and get sick. What would ya'll recommend for a new climber to get, in order, to be able to go out and trad climb?
My list:
>Climbing shoes that fit (LS Mythos are a good choice but YMMV)
>Harness
>Helmet
>PAS (points if you make yours out of webbing or prussik)
>2 locking carabiners
>Nut tool - optional, but strongly recommended when following
>ATC Guide
I'd like to this all of this can be gotten for maybe $300 too, with a harness and shoes being the bulk of a purchase. Of course, gear sharing is fine too.
Hope to see ya'll out there soon with some new climbers
