Pulsed lavage for wound debridement is all the rage. So if you are going to do that, a bit of sphincter training wouldnt go astray.

Head torch, medical tape, a compression bandage, some pads and a mobile phone will cover most eventualities. If you are prone to anaphylaxis then you should carry your epipen and know how to use it. If you are prone to headaches take some paracetamol with you. Most climbing is done a short walk from a car. You dont need a wilderness first aid kit for cragging. Have a kit in your car that can treat minor wounds. Get your tetanus immunisation up to date.
