Climbing bag
After many trials with climbing bags, these are my favorites!
There is an 18L and 24L option of this style. I put metal gear on bottom and my neatly coiled rope on top taking up the body of the bag, there is a back pocket for chalk and many places to clip carabiners!
Luzon 18L Daypack - Del Día
The green version of this bag is the exact rope bag I use! It has a tarp that you coil your rope onto, roll it, and that bundle zips up perfectly in this crossbody style strap bag!

More than once I have needed an extra bag to carry gear/food/layers, etc. in and a day pack did exactly that! These packs from osprey are great for multi-sport situations, climbing being a great example!

If you're getting into big walling or already an expert, this bag is a token of your commitment. Durable as you'll ever need and as competitive as pricing comes for haul bags.

CAMP is the brand that I have so that is what I will recommend, I actually got a rack for free at a climbing gym event and since then I have not gotten another brand!

Black diamond is a more pricey option for climbing ropes but they are often dry treated (if you will be climbing around water this is important), have so many different color/size options, be aware if you are gym climbing exclusively, get a gym rope!...

Confused by all the different types of chalk? This is my go to. It is in between chunky with finer dust mixed in. The chunks are easily breakable as opposed to solid chalk some people prefer, almost more like a crumble! I love this brand and have not...

These are the womens color way of the La Sportiva Solution climbing shoes. I love this shoe as it is a little more intense for more technical climbing while also being comfortable and somewhat adjustable!
La Sportiva Solution Climbing Shoe
I would recommend this shoe to anyone! If you prefer lace up climbing shoes rather than velcro this is the shoe for you. This shoe is a little on the less aggressive side which means it is also more comfortable!

There's a number of ways to Jimmy rig a janky stick clip for cheaper. The extra dollar you spend on the real deal repays itself in the longevity and functionality of the product. There's never been a sketchy start I wouldn't take on with the help of ...
