Default compulsory, or suggested kit?

As far as company climbing kits, it's really important to purchase gear that your guys will use. Noobies will use whatever you give them. Seasoned talent will be more preferential, naturally.

I could offer a guy a straight-blade Zubat, but if he's used to and likes the curved-blade Zubat, he may not bite.



Allowing the recruit to have a choose of specifics in his daily kit may be of great benefit. Or it may cost you heaps more dough.

Either way, I suppose unless otherwise communicated, the gear is still the property of the company.

After having the chance to try many, I'm sticking with the Buckingham Glide II, which I feel so comfortable and unbeatably balanced. And never squeezes your test.! The only "thumb down" is that is little heavy compared with some competitor, anyway... Try to get it

you could look at honeybros in the uk they did have a big line of harnesses to look at on there on line shopping and if they are starting climbing i would look at the williams harnesses as one thing i have found you need the leg straps attacted to the bum strap so they dont hurt your meat and two veg as most USA harnesses have part of the leg strap attached to your centre dees and they can cut you up the middle,but hay some of you american climbers like that

Like if you buy pole pruners and your climbers dont need them ya wasted your money a, communication is the key.

For a group of climbers i was tutoring, i got them to try a range of different gear understanding the merits, applications and limitations of each piece. I ended up ordering them gear, we set it up together and they never looked back.

This is an example of a company climbing kit. Two different suppliers were used and the cheapest was chosen for each piece of gear.

Check it out.

Hi A lopa,

company climbing kits-p1020440.jpg

heres my kit, its a Tree Austria II, i've learnt to climb in this harness and i love it, its prity comfy although it dose cut in to the back of ya legs after a long day, and the pads that they put there to stop it cuttin in have shifted too far around your leg, however i rate this harness!!, awsome working harness. IMO this harness would be a great company harness, both quality and simple to adjust and use...........

oh and also i have had several dealings with the site you are looking at the kits from and they are awsome, every time items arrived on or before they said they would.

heres a link for the Tree Austria II
