What to Bring

• Water FRCC highly recommends bringing 2 quarts (2-3 Liters) of water. • Food (Snacks / Lunch) Along with the water, keeping your body fueled throughout your trip will let you focus on climbing and not your stomach. Food a simple as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to high tech energy bars will keep you going throughout your trip. • Small Backpack A small backpack will allow you to carry your food, water, and other items you will need for the day. A backpack versus a handbag will let you freely use your hands while moving around the climbing areas. • Sneakers / Approach Shoes / Chaco Sandals ™ Most of the climbing areas require a slight hike from the parking area to reach your climbs. FRCC suggests a pair of sturdy sneakers, approach shoes, or Chacos™ to safely get you to the climbs. You can call our office or ask your guide if your footwear will be appropriate for your climbing destination. • Sunscreen The sun can be intense at all of our climbing locations. FRCC recommends bringing sunscreen to prevent sunburns and other potential sun related issues. • Sunglasses [optional] Sunglasses will help protect your eyes from the sun throughout the day. • Camera [optional] Pictures will help you remember your trip. If you have a camera, bring it along and snap away. • Rain Jacket Summer thunderstorms can occur at any time in Colorado. A light rain jacket will keep you dry in the event of rain.
