That's a really weird turn of phrase that I assume you didn't intend to be offensive?
Realistically emergency kit is an after-thought for many climbers; often after having an epic.
Getting a good light weight windbreaker will be of use on big climbs. I have a small first aid kit on a biner that I out on the back of my harness. Tons of band aids & tape. I have a rope knife that gets a lot of use for spreading avocado.
Headtorches and spare batteries are a must.
Mistakes? Don't empty your water to save weight on the walk-out.
Charge your phone before climbing& use flight mode to preserve battery life.
I am not a professional guide but in my experience with groups - always pack extra gear; someone brings a friend or the helmets don't fit or the person who said they have their own gear doesn't....
Bring a big jug of water (10l) in your car to fill up their bottles... Stop at a servo to buy them bottles - usually no shops at the crag!
And make lists & and triple check. Gumbys have no idea what they are in for |
