Clothing
Clothing should be appropriate to the
conditions. If you are indoors this might just be a t-shirt
and shorts.
If you are climbing
outdoors then a sturdy pair of lightweight, quick drying
trousers are a good choice. Jeans are often restrictive and
get heavy and cold when wet so should be avoided.
Layers is the key to
top. Take a wicking t-shirt to climb in and a thin fleece
in case it gets cold. A thicker fleece and jacket may be
needed for standing around at the top or bottom. A warm hat
is always a good choice.
Although you can climb
in trainers you will find your abilities greatly improved
with a pair of climbing shoes. Find a pair that are tight
but not uncomfortable.
