Everything you need to go climbing! | Rock Climbing Gear Guide 2024 (sport & trad)
In this video, we’re going to talk about ALL of the rock climbing gear that we use for our adventures! We’ve been rock climbing for 4 years now and after progressing from top roping to sport climbing and all the way to big alpine trad climbs, we feel like we have our harnesses pretty dialed. So if you’re a beginner climber just starting out or a seasoned trad climber looking for some gear beta, we hope this video helps you out! Enjoy:)

The OR Echo Hoodie is also great. I use it for almost all my climbing.
Nice video! One comment about trad climb belay: general consensus is NOT to use an autoblocking device like grigri, you already have an ATC guide, and that is perfect for belaying in trad climb
Black totem 😂
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. 👍216
Great video, frugal set. It is good to have stainless steel lockers where rope runs through to avoid aluminum deposits on the rope and friction grooves on the carabineers. But I guess you dont have many "lowering" situations 😉
I don’t know if you know but you can also use the gri gri for rappelling down a multi pitch whitout a tag line petzl has an articol about it
I didn’t see a link for the anchor (accessory cord). How do I look for one of those?
How about a WFR course after somebody decks?
Great video! I actually found the accessories towards the end the most useful (knife in chalk bag, vs pocket! 🤯). Did you guys learn to climb with a guide first, or peer then guide – or whatever…?
Love the video! Which bags do you all use? And what do you all use for water on long days out or especially for long multi-pitch climbs when you are going to be on the wall for a long time? Do you ever wear a small bag while climbing? Thanks!
Thank you for this video! Starting out into climbing is intimidating so it’s nice to have some solid info on gear
Super video, simple and easy to follow!
Can I ask what the hoodie is that Cody is wearing? Looks very comfortable
Long awaited video! I think I definitely need to upgrade to a helmet like that for sure.
Absolutely amazing. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list.
Thank you Cody and Victoria!! Needed this
I saw you guys in Moab on Potash Rd last week, ha!
I love the note about PAS’s from companies probably working better, if it’s rated and tied well ain’t nothing wrong with accessory cord
I’m new to climbing also so thank you for your gear guide
The PAS/tethers explanation was exactly what i was looking for! Thanks you both for creating such great content 🩷 happy climbing!
5:51 no stopper knots? 😬
What’s brand is your backpack the white one with red straps?
I like climbing very much
I am so frikin pumped that you guys posted this! I am a new sport climber/new to leading. I have joined other climbers in red rocks, alabama hills, and moab! Ready to start purchasing my own gear though. I have loved your channel and it’s been cool to see you visiting the same places. Thank you Cody and Victoria!!
Let’s seeee the Lucy in the Sky senddd!
Grigri is the go-to belay device in North America I would say. On the trad side though, I would say it is not the first thing I would reach for. A classic ATC-style device is always really great to learn on and know how to use because if people are carrying an extra, it is usually an ATC because it is used for rappelling as well (unless you rappel with Grigris on single strands with a tag). So, at least for me, a Grigri not what I have with me in the alpine or multipitch because you can just carry one device for lead belay, belay from above, **and** rappelling which is nice to cut on weight.
Great video. I haven’t been on real rock for at 2 years. Work has gotten in the way. So it’s just been the climbing gym.
Whats the name of the route at 0:14 ? 🙂
Thanks for sharing your setup. Love the vids
Hey guys. Am new to climbing and would like to know (and see), how you guys climb down from a trad climb. I know thier are anchor points on some climb, but have never seen how the descend is done. Thanks.
I appreciate that your videos are always so well thought out and organized . thank you
anyone feel like the video is kinda choppy with the shutter speed?
So rad guys! Love the chapters for this
Makes me want to get out there!
Excellent video! You might think about adding a mictrotraxion for hauling a pack, rescue, etc. You can do a 3:1 with just carabiners and use your atc as a prussik minder but it’s much easier with a pulley. If you do get a microtrax it is recommended to use an oval locker with it.
Overall I loved the video you guys are awesome keep it up
Your lives would change if you just incorporated a grappling hook to your climbs
Well Done. Are you still in the Moab area?
Will refer to this when I get around to starting a new hobby. Backpacking all four seasons, overlanding, and cross country skiing have done well to keep my wallet dry. Just curious though, how much should I save up to get the appropriate amount of gear for climbing? (Sport or trad)
Mythos are awesome shoes for being comfy
Great video! Lots of good knowledge. My only suggestion would be on your tether/rap extension. The middle knot you have a figure 8 and that knot isn’t meant to be spread apart at the tails like that. A better choice would be an alpine butterfly. That knot can be pulled in either direction and the tails can be spread apart all day. You aren’t putting a huge load on it while spreading the tails so it’s not a huge mistake, but might be something to consider changing.
Love your videos! It’s always exciting to see a new one pop up.
I seen other couples climbing videos, and they honestly seemed cringe. This was a great a video, and I like your guys vibe 👌🏽
If you’re good at using the Grigri I’m sure it’s a step up in safety from an ATC typ belay device, but if you’re not it can be a step down (mostly because it changes your behaviour). I don’t like that a lot of people talk about it as foolproof, saying you can hand it to a newb and they wont drop you, because it’s not. If you are of the opinion that it’s foolproof you should search for some videos on how the Grigri can fail, because the are ways (through missuse).
One device that I think is safer for every belayer is the Wildcountry Revo, because it’s used exactly as an ATC but has a backup that only triggers if the regular belaying fails.
