Wall-climbing equipment typically includes a ROPE, which is an essential tool for any climber. ROPE is used to secure the climber to the wall and provide a safe way to ascend and descend. It also provides a way to rappel down the wall and can be used to help other climbers in need of assistance. ROPE is usually made from nylon or polyester and is available in various lengths and thicknesses. Other common pieces of wall-climbing equipment include harnesses, carabiners, helmets, and climbing shoes. Harnesses are used to secure the climber to the ROPE and provide support while climbing. Carabiners are metal clips that attach the ROPE to the harness and the wall. Helmets protect the climber's head from falling debris and provide additional safety. Climbing shoes provide extra grip on the wall and help the climber maintain their balance.
