for seconding, we would suggest the following

tape |
1
of each
|
| Quickdraws:
Long (15 - 20cm) are better than short (10cm)
as they do not tend to lift the gear out so
easily. Short quick draws are more suited
to bolt protected routes and climbing walls. |
minimum
of 4
|
| Slings:
For spikes, threads, extensions and tree belays.
It is worth making sure all your slings are
diffent colours as it makes untangling them
much easier. |
two
short (60cm) &
two long (120cm)
|
| Karabiners:
For equipping slings and nuts etc. 'Krabs'
come with straight, bent or wire gates. If
you're not sure, straight are a safe choice. |
minimum of 10
|
| Screwgate
Karabiners:
For setting up belays with. |

|
| Whilst
we would recommend adding further wires and
quickdraws first, there is always the possibility
of buying some Camming
Devices (Friends), as you can afford
them. |
| *NB
Most climbers operating regularly at this
level would carry more gear than this. Please
see Advanced
Climbing Gear for further advice.
