Hi all,

I'm looking for climbing shoes, ATC and a harness.
Shoe size 9-10.

Looking to spend around R1000.

Good luck, R1000 wont take u far except if you know someone willing to give you some of their OLD stuff.

Hey, check out gumtree. There is a pair of Boreal size 9 and chalk bag. R500.
There is another post for some other gear that includes belay and harness also for R500 so go check it out.
Good luck

Hey man, have a black diamond harness that i bought in the USA 5 years ago, bought a new one in the meanwhile, will sell for R250. Let me know

That weird because my first set of climing gear was like brand new and I paid R1000 for - La sportiva shoes, a harness and ATC.

I don't mind paying more but thats my ideal target.

Are Boreals good shoes? sounds like they've been around forever?

Post the link here, we'll let you know.

Boreal is a good brand of shoe. The shoes in the link appear to be Boreal Zens - just make sure they fit you properly

sold long time ago, bummer.

Next

Hi,

I just checked mountain mail order and you can get all of these brand new for +-1500

La Sportiva Scorpion
Petzl Corax harness
Black Diamond ATC


I know its R500 more than what your looking for but its a nice setup.

Agreed...

Next: Save yourself time & money - go to a store find a pair of shoes and a harness that fit you right (ideally from one of the stores advertising on this site
The gear will be new (100% safe) and the shoes will be comfortable.

And then you go climbing sooner

CityROCK always have specials on beginner packages consisting of any shoe, harness, belay device and carabiner. Price may range between R1322 and R2200, depending on the goods you take.

That's the best you can do for new gear, good advice and excellent variety, imho!

Like!

Thanks for all your help guys.
I always like 2ns hand gear when I try something new so it doesn't cost me a lot of money to try it out.
once I'm serious into it then I'll get new gear.

I've started many sports like this and found that they were just not for me, and then selling the gear means i made my money back.

But I might just buy new if we're talking an extra R500....

Dont forget you will need a screwgate carabiner as well.

I know you didnt ask for a chalkbag, so maybe you have one already but I have an old one that you are welcome to have.

Thanks for the offer, you guys are so helpful!!

Will see what happens first!

if you look around theres always a deal to be found, see whats out there but new id still more advisable. and at those prices its no different. i would prefer new anyway it has a better resale value but i wouldnt sell anyway
