Equipment list for bouldering sessions

For all outdoor bouldering sessions:

• Yourself
  Enthusiastic, ready to learn and ready to have fun.
• Waterproof trousers and jackets
  It is really important that you bring both waterproof trousers and a waterproof jacket as this will ensure that you are comfortable and will really enjoy your course.
• Outdoor footwear - walking boots or trainers which you don't mind getting wet, muddy and scuffed. The approach paths to the crags can often be wet.
• Legwear
  Trousers which allow a good range of movement (preferably not jeans).
• Upper body
  Clothing which allows a good range of movement and at least one additional warm layer.
• Food and drink
  Enough to keep you energised for the whole session (Keep in mind that you will be extremely active and will burn through a lot of energy).
• Any personal items
  e.g. medication etc.
• An additional warm layer
  This can be used whilst stationary (for example whilst discussing movements and coaching). Although this stationary time is kept to a minimum.
• Hat and gloves
  As per the additional warm layer a hat and gloves will help to keep you warm.
• Rucksack
  This should be big enough to carry your personal belongings plus additional equipment provided by Climb GB e.g. climbing shoes and chalk bag.
• Any personal items
  e.g. sun cream, sunglasses etc.
