Please view the following kit lists, broken down in to each clinic choice.

If you are short of any items then we strongly advise you to organise your beg, borrow & steal campaign early on. Many outdoor shops will alow you to rent equipment. Chicks Unleashed has a small supply of gear available to rent. If you give us plenty of notice we’ll endeavour to source what you need and have it ready for you when you arrive. A few days before will be too late.

All group equipment such as group shelters, first aid kit, ropes, climbing rack etc, will be provided by your instructor.
