But from an expertise point of view if you carry only important and light rock climbing equipments at the time of climbing then only your adventure can be a good one.

According to the experts the most effective and efficient rock climbing equipments are as follow:-
1.Climbing Rope: - A rope around 11 mm in diameter and 50 meters long will be appropriate for a beginner. As a novice in the field of rock climbing you will definitely fall a few times, but to make your fall smooth and injury free you need a good climbing rope.

2.Rock climbing shoes: - It is most important rock climbing equipment. A perfect choice of the climbing shoes makes your climbing safer, funny and enjoyable. The rock climbing shoes are a little bit different from the general shoes and if you are not used to this type of shoes then you will fill a little uncomfortable at the first time. But do not worry because it will become comfortable very soon. The main problem of the climbing shoes is that the size of these shoes varies from production house to production house.

In case of indoor climbing you do not need a helmet, but when are you experiencing rock climbing in the outdoors then make sure that there is a strong but light helmet is there on your head. Because nobody knows when an accident occurs.

4.Climbing harness: - As a beginner you also feel the need of a climbing harness.
