NEED TO KNOW
WHAT WILL I NEED
Glenmore Lodge has a large, and very comprehensive store of up to date clothing and equipment. Although we can supply all the equipment you will need, at this level you are encouraged to use your own hill gear including emergency gear, tent, stove etc. (Your instructor will of course want to check that personal equipment is appropriate for the activity).
YOU WILL NEED (Glenmore Lodge can provide if required)
- Appropriate footwear for the attended course
- Helmet
- Climbing Harnesses and rock shoes
- All technical climbing hardware & equipment
EQUIPMENT YOU NEED TO BRING WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE IN THE STORES
Listed here are the essentials, this is not an exhaustive list.
- Personal clothing
- Warm outdoor wear
- Insulating layers
- Trekking / climbing trousers (not cotton)
- Hydration system (water bottle)***
- Box or bag for packed lunch
- Personal first aid kit
- Personal toiletries & medications (towels are provided)
Glenmore Lodge will provide any technical equipment required on a skills course e.g. climbing ropes and racks. However it would be expected that students attending any climbing NGB courses will have their own technical equipment other than ropes which Glenmore Lodge will provide.
