Indoor Climbing Equipment
Indoor rock climbing is such a popular activity not only for its health benefits, but also for the community it creates. Many climbing gyms create a great sense of camaraderie, which makes it all the more fun. Most gyms will let you rent everything you need but once you’re ready to start putting together your own indoor climbing equipment, you might want to check out our gear at K2 Base Camp.
We recommend starting off with the basics: some rock climbing shoes (our choice of brand is La Sportiva). We’ve written a detailed guide on how to buy climbing shoes if you’re in need of a bit of guidance. Next up, you’ll need some climbing chalk to keep your grip solid and a chalk bag.
Harnesses are a trickier find, so we encourage you to come along instore to check out and try on a variety of sizes, styles, colours, and features to figure out what works best for you. Although, if you’ve already been using or renting a harness you love, we also have a great collection of harnesses available for purchase online. Our climbing belays and carabiners suitable for belaying are also key additions to your indoor climbing kit. With so many options available, knowing how to pick the right climbing rope can also be a bit overwhelming. This article written by the K2 team can help highlight the differences between some of the ropes. If you’re interested in moving onto lead climbing, we can also help you out with bundling a lead climbing kit. Finally, a good collection of comfortable, breathable, and lightweight clothing that you can really move in is a great asset to your indoor climbing experience.
You can check our categories in detail as well.
