Multi-pitch Rock Day Trips

EQUIPMENT LIST – MULT-IPITCH ROCK DAY TRIPS
 

TRIPS COVERED BY THIS LIST:

  • Goat Wall Climbing 
  • Index
  • Red Rocks

 

A NOTE ON EQUIPMENT LISTS: Equipment selection can make or break a trip. Weather conditions can change rapidly and having gear that is a combination of warm, lightweight, and durable is ideal. Taking the time pre-trip to make sure that your equipment meets these standards is worth the effort and sets up everyone for success. In the mountains, it is best to use an integrated layering clothing system. Layers create the ability to dial in what works best for you. Each layer should have the ability to dry quickly, be flexible, and be resistant to water, wind, and abrasions to help you regulate your temperature and not hinder your climbing.

 

Please discuss the conditions you are most likely to encounter with your guide in advance of your trip.

 

All trips require that you bring adequate food and water. Please see our “food” equipment list for details.
