Arrive sober and alert
Climbing requires clear judgment—do not consume alcohol before your session; instructors may refuse participation if you appear impaired.
Wear athletic, non-restrictive clothing
Stretchy pants and a moisture-wicking top let you move freely; harnesses fit over most activewear.
Hydrate and rest between climbs
Plan brief rests to avoid forearm fatigue—indoor gyms can be dry and demand steady hydration.
Listen to the belay briefing
Pay attention to knot, harness, and belay checks—these safety routines are mandatory and taught at the start.
Climbing shoes
Improves foot precision on holds; many gyms provide rentals if you don’t own a pair.
Chalk or chalk bag
Reduces hand slippage; gyms often sell or rent chalk if you don’t bring any.
Athletic clothing
Breathable, flexible clothing enables high steps and wide reaches without restriction.
Water bottle
Keeps you hydrated between attempts—indoor air and exertion dehydrate faster than you expect.
