How much money for equipment for climbing?

Answer 1

Your equipment:
Shoes - $80-150
Harness - $40-70
Rope - $130-250
belay device - $25-90
chalk and bag - $20
helmet - $100
Partner - Priceless (especially if they have gear you can use)

You can do top-rope and bouldering climbs with what I mentioned above. (However, with bouldering, it would be a good idea to get a crash pad - $120-250, but with bouldering you only really need shoes, not the other stuff.)

After that it largely depends on what type of climbing you do. Trad is very expensive, but also requires more experience. Sport isn't so bad, you only need quickdraws, but they are still $12-25ea.

Don't ever buy ropes or harnesses used. The other stuff you can, but even then make sure you inspect in closely. If you can find well taken care of gear, it helps a lot. I got my wife a used helmet for $14.

Answer 2

It depends on the type of climbing gear you want and the brands that makes the climbing gear. There are brands such as Black Diamond that offer total package of climbing gear from helmet, carabiner, and climbing shoes. If you want to buy the complete climbing gear, it could cost you around $200 to $500 depending on the types of climbing gear and from the brands as well.

Answer 4

The price of the equipment that you purchase for rock climbing varies depending on brand, quality, etc. As a minimum, most people will need to buy a pair of climbing shoes, a harness, a belay/rappel device, chalk bag, chalk, rope, and a few other items. A starter kit with basic equipment can probably be had for about $100, although expect to pay more for better gear and to fill out the items that you need.

Answer 6

The price of rock climbing can depend upon where you go. To climb on actual rocks would be more expensive than climbing on man made rock walls.

Answer 7

The cost of indoor rock climbing varies greatly from one gym to another. Most rock gyms, however, offer discounts to those who bring their own equipment.
