Why is it more profitable to purchase from an online store:

Mountaineering equipment, equipment for rock climbing and ice climbing is one of the most important specializations of the store. We have focused our efforts on cooperation with the world's leading manufacturers of this equipment, offering high-quality, proven products. Equipping mountaineering athletes from “A” to “Z” is the company’s ultimate goal.

Our partners and regular suppliers have been producing professional mountaineering equipment, equipment for speleologists and rock climbers, as well as equipment for rescue and high-altitude work for many years. It meets European and American safety standards when working at height, and has received certificates of conformity in Russia.

Experienced mountaineers and rock climbers say that the signs of high-quality climbing equipment are not only its reliability and functionality, but also its weight. Modern materials, the latest manufacturing technologies, proven design solutions make tools and equipment for mountaineering and extreme expeditions an easy but strong aid. It allows you to overcome difficult sections of the path much faster, not lose speed on ups and downs, hold the rope tightly, and not lose strength and presence of mind.

The first specific equipment with which rock climbing begins is. You can do without everything else at first, but not without them. Of course, you can rent shoes at the climbing wall, but if you do it systematically, it will be expensive. In addition, there remains the issue of hygiene and convenience. You can and even should wear your shoes without socks. This way they fit better on the leg and provide better sensitivity. No rental shoes will be as comfortable as your own.

Which climbing shoes to choose for a child? Choosing a model of children's climbing shoes.

For the youngest climbers there are special children's models:

Climbing shoes La Sportiva STICKIT

Climbing shoes Edelrid Crocy sahara

Scarpa LIGHTNING climbing shoes

The size in children's climbing shoes is adjustable within two adjacent values, unlike adult models, where the step is half a size. Some models feature an additional leather heel insert for added dimension. It is attached to a sling to the climbing shoes and can be easily pulled out. When the leg grows out, the insert into the shoe can simply be cut off. In other models, allowance for leg growth is made due to an elastic insert on the sides of the shoes in the heel area.

For older children, from sizes 33-35, you can already choose something from simple adult models. Look for climbing shoes with the most comfortable fit and the least amount of asymmetry.

Children's climbing shoes size

Many adult climbers, in pursuit of maximum sensitivity to the terrain, buy climbing shoes 1-4 sizes smaller, knowing that climbing shoes tend to stretch. This story doesn't work for children! There is no need to injure a growing child's foot. , or even a little more, the main thing is that they do not fly off and when the toe is loaded, the child feels the hooks with his fingers.

Firstly, this way you will not discourage your child’s desire to exercise, because not all children will like to endure pain from tight climbing shoes. Secondly, small holds are already quite comfortable for a small child’s foot. A small climber will be able to stand on holds even in loose climbing shoes, and all the tricks with precise foot placement in aggressive rock shoes that are 4 sizes smaller are needed by adult professionals, whose feet are many times longer than a tiny hold.

Choosing a children's bag for magnesia and magnesia itself

The second piece of equipment that a child will need for classes is a bag of magnesium. From point of view technical characteristics there is nothing to say about bags. This is absolutely a matter of taste. With or without a strap (on a carabiner), large or smaller, with a drawstring, Velcro or with a zipper - whatever your child likes in appearance and price, then take it.

Manufacturers offer children's magnesium bags, which differ only in their smaller size and design. In general, this is not important. If a child is engaged in bouldering (climbing without a safety net at a low altitude), he may not even wear the bag on his belt, but simply keep it close to the route. It’s another matter if the child will be practicing with a safety system, then the bag should always hang on the belt and you should choose a model that makes climbing with it as comfortable as possible.

And, of course, a bag for magnesium without magnesium is meaningless. Magnesia for children is no different from that for adults. Therefore, you have a wealth of choice - a ball or in bulk. What is more convenient is again a matter of taste. Keep in mind that some climbing walls only allow liquid magnesium.

Choosing a safety system for a child

The next step in rock climbing is a trip to a high climbing wall, where belay is carried out using a rope, and in order to fasten to it you need a child's harness.

Most likely, if you have not bothered to purchase in advance, you will be given a universal system similar to the Petzl Pandion

This harness is adjustable to almost any size, but has a couple of drawbacks - too long “tails” that get in the way, and not very soft lines that can cut into.

Another significant point in this system is that it is not suitable for very young children. Because it is not regulated so much small size. And due to the structural features of the child’s body, there is a danger that if it hangs and turns over unsuccessfully, it will slip, and the child risks falling out of it. Therefore, for the youngest (1.5 years - 5 years) you need to use the full system.

Petzl Ouistiti child safety harness

For older children, you can choose a children's belt gazebo, which is similar in design to an adult one, but is made to suit child size. Please note that the waist belt may have two adjustments or one, depending on the model. Gazebos with one-sided tensioning require more careful selection of size. In any case, we strongly recommend that you choose a child safety harness together with your child.

Trigger and other hardware

Since we are talking about belaying with a rope, it is useful to take care of the means by which this belay is carried out.

The classic option for belaying on a climbing wall is a set of carabiner and Petzl Gri-Gri belay device. It is also possible to use various types of baskets such as ATC-Guide from Black Diamond and similar or figure eight baskets.

Set of carabiner and belay device Petzl Gri-Gri

But there is one BUT. We need to understand what age of the child we are dealing with. Entrusting a five-, six-year-old child with insurance is a very controversial issue! And it’s not always even a matter of attentiveness. Even if you use the Gri-Gri auto-locking device, and even if an adult secures and closely monitors the child’s actions, children do not always have enough strength to pull through the belay device the thick, threadbare, and battered ropes that are found at most climbing walls. Therefore, in any case, a belay device with a carabiner will be needed for insurance, but most likely for an adult, not a child.

There is also a difference in which carabiner to choose. The most common option is the so-called HMS carbine (this abbreviation often appears in the name, or there is a stamp on the back of the carbine - the letter H).

Safe carabiners for belaying

There are also special carbines that are convenient for belaying. They are attached to the central ring of the gazebo in correct position, does not rotate and prevents incorrect placement of the safety device. On the right in the picture below is the same type of carabiner, but with one more advantage - the clutch is automatic.

Why does it make sense to spend money on such a carbine? This is unnecessary security. Probably the most subtle and weak point in all of children's climbing. Any coach will pay most of his attention in the children's section to this aspect. Perhaps, at the beginning of training, even to the detriment of the actual climbing technique. Loose carabiners and incorrectly positioned belay devices are mistakes that can cost the health of young athletes. Therefore, extra parts that increase safety are never superfluous.

Well, another type of carabiner that can come in handy is an auxiliary carabiner (pictured on the right), which is convenient for hanging climbing shoes, a bag of magnesium, or a key to a locker in the locker room. Bright and weighs almost nothing.

The next stage in the training of rock climbers is going to the rocks, training on natural terrain. Perhaps there the child will become familiar with camping living conditions and will need bivouac equipment.

Children training on the rocks

However, what will be specific to rock climbing is a necessity helmets. Because any climbing wall is, after all, more or less safe for the head. The same cannot be said about natural terrain.

Which helmet to choose– it’s purely a matter of convenience. The most important thing when choosing a helmet that is already certified for mountaineering and rock climbing is its wearing comfort. All other differences are a matter of taste. You can choose a helmet with a pattern. or plain polycarbonate.

If you don’t focus specifically on children’s climbing helmets, you can find suitable model and among adults. Small helmet sizes often correspond to the sizes of junior and children's helmets.

Edelrid Ultralight Junior helmet for children

Backpack for equipment

And, of course, the child will need a comfortable backpack to carry equipment to training. It’s good if the backpack has several compartments so that you can separate your climbing shoes with magnesium from your clothes. For climbing climbers, it would be a good idea to buy a bag for changing, and put magnesium in there too, so the backpack will stay clean longer.

The optimal volume of a backpack is 12-20 liters, more is possible, especially if there are drawstrings on the sides. A loose backpack makes it easier for a child to pack things. You may need a flask of water. But find out in advance, many climbing walls have coolers with water and cups.

Children's climbing clothing

The child will not need any special clothing. The requirements for sportswear are quite standard - clothing should be elastic and not restrict movement. The warm-up includes elements of stretching. Shorts are more comfortable than pants; leggings are good for girls. Most bouldering gyms are quite warm; larger rooms with high ceilings can be cooler. Your child may need a fleece or sweatshirt until he warms up.

I would also like to warn you about changing shoes. Climbing shoes are not designed for walking on hard floors. Therefore, your child may need sneakers during warm-up. Often climbers warm up barefoot, then they take simple flip-flops to walk around the climbing wall.

Use of this material on other resources is prohibited!

When choosing clothes and shoes for climbing, the first criterion is comfort. However, there are still a lot of nuances that should be taken into account to accurately understand what things are required for sport climbing.

A universal set for your first visit to a climbing wall is comfortable, loose clothes and a replaceable set of shoes. But if you are used to choosing clothes responsibly, then you need to follow certain recommendations in order to choose the right equipment for your activities.

Everything will depend on where the training takes place. If you do sport climbing at a climbing wall, the temperature there is always warm. Therefore, you can choose suitable pants or shorts, and for girls, choose high-quality leggings that will stretch perfectly and will not interfere with movements. For the top, just take an ordinary T-shirt or T-shirt made of breathable materials.

For natural rocks the situation will be completely different. Due to unpredictable weather conditions, take a kit warm clothes, capable of providing protection from wind and cold air. To avoid leg injuries, wear long, loose trousers made of special materials. The best option is special pants for rock climbing with a special cut. They are equipped with inserts at the knees to ensure a high lift without obstructions, as well as pockets.

What is the difference between special clothing for sport climbing and ordinary sports suits?

• Sewn from durable materials. For example, T-shirts are made from fabric that dries quickly and “breathes” so that there is no hypothermia during exercise.
• Has a special cut. The pants are loose with thickening at the knees.
• Textiles for climbing clothing do not fade due to long exposure to the sun, and therefore retain an attractive appearance.

The order of prices will be as follows:

• Climbing jackets will come in handy in natural conditions. The cost of a jacket in stores will cost from 5 to 30 thousand rubles, depending on the thickness of the material and the brand.
  
• Sweatshirts for sport climbing range in price from 3 to 10 thousand rubles.
• Pants and shorts will cost from 3 to 20 thousand rubles. There are several categories found in online stores. These are warm pants like puffer ones sweatpants, as well as ordinary trousers made of dense materials, light shorts, and for girls, high-quality leggings are relevant.
  
• T-shirts can be purchased from 800 rubles to 3-4 thousand. Here the main selection criterion is the natural or synthetic material used for manufacturing, as well as the brand.
  
• Thermal underwear is an essential attribute for climbing on natural rocks. Top or bottom separately will cost from 1 to 5 thousand rubles.
  

  How to choose special shoes for rock climbing

  Experienced athletes often purchase several pairs of climbing shoes at once. A universal option is basic shoes, but, in general, the choice depends on the sport climbing discipline you choose and the characteristics of your movements. It is recommended not to allow your climbing shoes to wear out completely, as your safety also depends on them.

  Depending on the type of training, choose climbing shoes for:

  
  

  What is the cost of special climbing shoes? Children's climbing shoes can be purchased from 4 thousand rubles. Adult climbing shoes are bought at points of sale from 5 to 13 thousand rubles.

  The overview of brands includes such manufacturers as Scrapa, Five Ten, Evolv, La Sportiva, Black Diamond, Mad Rock, Tenaya. Most models are quite rigid, but still stretch a couple of sizes. There are also options that are more adaptable to the characteristics of the foot. For example, these are La Sportiva models, which come in very different degrees of rigidity.

  Total Cost Calculation

  So, if you prefer to purchase your own set of sport climbing clothing and shoes, you can calculate the average total cost.

  For classes at the climbing wall it will be like this:

  • Pants or shorts ~ 5 thousand.
  • T-shirt ~ 2 thousand.
  • Climbing boots ~ 10 thousand.

  So you will have to spend approx. 17 thousand. rubles

  If we talk about sports climbing in natural conditions, the general price is as follows:

  • Jacket ~ 10 thousand.
  • Thermal underwear ~ 6 thousand.
  • Sweatshirt ~ 5 thousand.
  • Pants or shorts ~ 5 thousand.
  • Climbing boots ~ 10 thousand.

  On average, the total cost reaches 36 thousand. rubles

  Remember that if you have no intention of climbing for a long time, you can make do with the clothing and equipment that are provided for rental at the climbing wall. But for serious outdoor training, you should make sure you have high-quality, reliable items.

  Review of online stores

  Where can I buy climbing clothing and shoes online?

  • Tramontana online store - https://tramontana.ru
  • Alpindustria online store - https://alpindustria.ru
  • Online store Sport Marathon - https://sport-marafon.ru
  • Online store Planet Sport -

• Naturalness: the child has a desire to explore the world, for example, he begins to climb trees.
• Safety: if children climb high into trees, there is a high probability of falling, but in rock climbing there is always a safety net. This will prevent injury and relieve fear.
• Physical Culture: in this sport, the load on the body is distributed evenly, all muscle groups, without exception, work. At the same time, coordination, endurance and agility develop.
• Thinking: in this sport you cannot simply train yourself for one type of activity; each distance requires the climber to come up with a strategy and find an original and quick solution to the problem. Thus, intelligence and ingenuity develops.
• Communication: Most often, distances are completed in a team rather than individually. You need to act together, be able to trust the team and support the team. Since athletes go through difficulties together, with the help of rock climbing, a child will quickly and easily find new friends and improve communication skills.

Children love to climb garages, construction sites, and trees, which is very dangerous. For this reason, it is preferable to send your child to rock climbing, where safety comes first. Strong, reliable and certified insurance is used, and all equipment is regularly checked and monitored. Classes are conducted only by experienced trainers who have received the appropriate permits.

At what age do classes start?

Lasagne is one of the basic functions human body, along with running. Therefore, for full training it is enough for the child to be aged five years. For younger children, as reported in an interview by the director of the Limestone climbing wall A.M. Kozhemyakin, create special groups rock climbing.

Photo 1. Children climbing in a special room with a low lifting height and large bright holds.

Children 2-4 years old develop gross motor skills and gradually become familiar with this sport. IN adolescence you can also start rock climbing, this will lead to healthy image life and will strengthen physically boys and girls.

Climbing equipment. Cloth

To begin with, your child will need regular sportswear.

For top:

• T-shirt— It’s better not to wear a T-shirt, as the harness rubs the skin.
• Trowel— if classes take place outdoors, it is advisable to wear it so as not to freeze.

For bottom:

• Sports trousers- select a stretchy material that will not restrict movement.

Important! The fabric should “breathe” and stretch well.

Subsequently you will need special clothing for rock climbing. Its difference is that the fabric is sewn in a special way; when bending the limbs, it does not need to be stretched. Such clothes are more comfortable and do not restrict the child’s movement.

Shoes

Climbing shoes are an important attribute for an athlete. The choice of “climbers” must be taken seriously. Don't chase expensive and professional models. A block that is too hard will be uncomfortable and the child simply will not enjoy the training.

When choosing climbing shoes, it is worth remembering that their structure is specially designed in such a way that fingers were gathering, and shoes fixed my leg. The optimal version of climbing shoes is not too tight, but not too loose.

Important! Many “experienced” people say to take shoes a couple sizes smaller. to do this not worth it. If you're not used to it, it will cause severe discomfort and rub your feet.

The purchase is made after trying on, the shoes are selected in size. Shoes should fit tightly without causing pain .

How do children's training work?

Climbing training usually takes place in three stages:

• On first Students are given basic knowledge of technology. Correct positions are developed and safety techniques are mastered. Students do not rise above two meters. The stage lasts 2-4 months.
• On second stages they teach a simple climb with a rope descent, new movements are mastered. She also takes from 2 to 4 months, depending on the child’s learning ability and results.
• Third stage includes more serious training. New routes and advanced techniques are being mastered. Done emphasis on general physical training (general physical training) and SPP (special physical training).

For the little ones exist separate groups, in which children are taught the basics. They develop gross motor skills and are introduced to the climbing wall and holds. As a result, their commonality is strengthened physical development. At the same time, kids never get bored, because many climbing walls have funny and interesting colored holds that children look at with interest.

Maybe impressed by yet another viewing of the movie “Cliff Climber” with the participation of Sylvester Stallone, or maybe intoxicated by taking a new career peak, you gathered at the climbing wall.

And the first question will be: “ What to wear?»

We agree that for your first visit to a climbing wall, it is enough to find a comfortable cotton T-shirt and elastic cycling shorts in your wardrobe.

But if you want to look stylish and feel comfortable, opt for clothes that are made specifically for extreme sports and specifically for.

These T-shirts allow your arms to move freely and the material is moisture wicking.

It's great that there are men's and women's options T-shirts like this.

Prices range from $10.

If you just want to be stylish, a climbing T-shirt from a Polish company will do MILO.

And if you want and have the opportunity, you can climb in a T-shirt from an American company Prana, which is considered one of the best among manufacturers of this product.

Bottom

What is the most important indicator when choosing trousers and shorts for climbing?

Freedom of movement for your feet!

Modern manufacturers sportswear use super elastic materials.

For example:

• extendoCL(this fabric is designed specifically for sewing trousers for this sport);
• cotton/elasthan(dense and soft);
• cotton stretch(heavy duty).

However, not only the material is important, but also the tailoring of such trousers. Eat a few nuances in this case:

• presence of zippers on pockets;
• the presence of a loop for attaching a bag of magnesium;
• special knee cut;
• elastic waistband

These little things will determine your comfort on the rock.

Still the same budget company MILO equips you with trousers from $20, both male and female. They will meet all climbing requirements, but you can find a better option.

These are super elastic climbing trousers, shorts, breeches made of Swiss Mammut, Czech AlpinePro And Warmpeace, American Prana. Their cost - from $40.

Shoes

Now, to be completely ready to climb rocks, there is only one, but very important step left - buy shoes.

For the first time, sneakers from your own wardrobe will do.

Of course you can take climbing shoes for rent(some provide such a service!).

However, be prepared for certain disadvantages of rental shoes: worn out appearance, smell not of the best aromas; Also, used climbing shoes can cause pain, as they are worn into different feet.

Our advice: Buy your own climbing shoes and get the real pleasure of sticking your feet to the holds on the rock!

How to choose climbing shoes

So, go buy your first pair of climbing shoes at professional shop.

If you are a beginner, buying climbing shoes online is not for you. You need a mandatory fitting and advice from an experienced seller.

• Laces, rubber bands or Velcro? Here the choice is yours.

The laces tighten the foot well, Velcro makes easier process putting on and taking off.

Focus on your feelings. Choose what is more comfortable.

• Soft or hard? Ideally, have both... But for your first trip to the climbing wall, choose soft ones.

Distinguish two types of pads in rock shoes:

The first follows the shape of the leg, the second forces the leg to take a certain shape. This is the first one and is suitable for beginners.

• Your first climbing shoes can be inexpensive and simple.

Suitable for Russian manufacturer Ushba - from 950 rubles.

Want something better? Then pay attention to climbing shoes from Czech manufacturers Triop and RockPillars. Prices for a pair of climbing shoes - from $30.

Those who are advanced and ready to walk on rocks in excellent shoes should opt for the Italian manufacturer LaSportiva and shell out for a pair from $50.

The LaSportiva company uses a special sole for climbing shoes " Vibram».

With regular exercise, a high-quality pair will wear out within a year. But the sole can be bought and re-glued. Material costs will be less than when buying a new pair, but the problem is finding a craftsman who can do this work efficiently.

There are special companies that repair rock shoes and all that. Experienced climbers will suggest the right addresses in your immediate vicinity.

• There are rock shoes women's, men's And children's.

A child’s feet grow quickly, so you need to especially control the selection of the size of rock shoes for children, so that in the future there will be no foot diseases.

Women's versions of climbing shoes are narrower and lighter. There are no special differences.

Sometimes men with narrow feet purchase such climbing shoes for themselves.

In any case, you need to try on these shoes before purchasing and choose the one in which you are comfortable. Experienced climbers say that even they don’t buy such shoes without trying them on.

Helmet

For beginners and climbing walls This piece of equipment is only needed by children.

But you are preparing to conquer difficult rock routes? This means that this piece of personal equipment will be needed in the near future.

There are a great many helmets.

A helmet can save your life. Experienced climbers can tell more than one life story on this topic from their own experience.

You need to choose certified special helmets. The thicker the outer covering, the heavier the helmet and the more load it can withstand.
