Manchester Climbing Centre Recommended Clothing for Outdoor Climbing Courses

For all of our outdoor courses we will provide all the necessary equipment.

We will need to know your shoe size and harness size in advance if required.

You will need to bring the following despite what the weather may appear to be when you leave the house!

• Waterproof jacket and trousers
• Rucksack
• Warm trousers - jeans are not recommended as they become very uncomfortable, cold and heavy when wet. This is not ideal for climbing.
• At least one warm jumper or fleece
• A long sleeved thermal layer
• Warm socks
• Sun cream
• Insect Repellent
• Flask of drink to suit the weather
• Snacks for the day
• Packed lunch
• Sensible shoes for walking to the crag

We recommend that you bring all the above. In warmer weather you may wish to add a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. If the weather looks wet a spare change of clothes may be advisable for the journey home.

Please ask us if you have any questions!
