Rock Climbing Gear Packages
Black Diamond Momentum Harness Package
The momentum package is an excellent choice for new climbers heading to the wall for the first time. A comfortable harness is absolutely essential, and the Momentum will secure you as you progress in your climbing career to lead climbing and beyond.
The Momentum Harness package also comes with a belay device, a locker, a chalk bag, and chalk, all of which are must-have items when you’re dangling off the deck.
Black Diamond Big Air XP Package
If you already have a harness and chalk bag, then the Black Diamond Big Air XP Package is for you. This package comes with a locker and belay device.
Black Diamond is known for their belay device called the ATC. By the way, did you know what ATC stands for Air Traffic Controller? The name originated from the funny folks at Black Diamond since you literally control the person hanging in the air! They’re also known as tube-style belay devices.
Petzl Corax Kit
The Petzl Corax Kit is another fantastic beginner option. This package gives you everything you need to start climbing: chalk bag, chalk sock, harness and hardware. Petzl has been crafting world-famous mountaineering gear in France since 1975.
Sport Climbing Bundles
Trango Sport Climbing Package
This package is an all-in-one sport climbing rack. It’s perfect for anyone getting into outdoor climbing or looking to replenish aging draws. This package comes with ten quickdraws, two alpine draws, and four lockers. You’ll have enough gear for any climb that the rock can throw at you.
Trad Rack Starter Package
Wild Country Friend Cam Set
The Kings of Crack Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall, aka The Wideboyz get high with a little help from their Friends. This Wild Country Friend set comes up with six camming devices to get you started on your first trad climbing adventures. Any trad climber would love to get their hands on these cams.
And watch this video of the Friends catching monster falls from the Wideboyz.
DMM Wallnut Set
The DMM Wallnut has a contoured and grooved design that wedges the nut into cracks of all shapes and sizes. Having manufactured gear in North Wales since 1981, the fine folks at DMM know how to craft the perfect nut. Hold any piece of DMM gear in your hand and you feel quality oozing.
Trango Alpine Draw Pack
The Trango Alpine Draw Pack comes up with four of the lightest alpine draws on the market and eight ultralight Phase carabiners. I’ve done a lot of multi pitch climbs with partners who have these draws and they are fantastic. The Phase alpine draw is built for any phase of your climbing career. This all-arounder is perfect for the climber that is aspiring to climb it all.

Climbing Gear Bundle
The climbing gear bundle is an excellent way to save some money while picking up the gear you need to send. I remember standing in at REI trying on harnesses before I eventually found the perfect size. I was ecstatic to find the Petzl Corax kit that let me save a little money and get me some new gear to play around with.
