EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR THE CLASS WILL BE:

• 2 non-locking "D" or Oval carabiners (bring more if you have them)
• 3 locking carabiners (at least 3, one of which should be a parabiner)
• 1 rappel/belay device (Trango Jaws, Black Diamond ATC, Trango Pyramid, Figure-8, etc.)
• 1 climbing harness
• 1 ea - 4', 6', 10' 6mm prusiks (untied length)
• 2 ea - 6', 10', 20' slings (1" tubular webbing, untied length, AKA runners)
• 1 or 2 personal anchor slings (commercial daisy chains or 4' sewn Spectra runners or equivalent)
• 1 20' cordelette, a 20-foot length of 7mm accessory cord
• 1 helmet (reqd. for Sat & Sun, available to borrow if you don't have)

*NOTE - The slings and harness are the only additional equipment needed over the Technical Outdoor Climbing School requirements.

Helmets: Students will be required to wear a helmet during the Saturday and Sunday session. Helmets are available if you do not have one. This class is designed to teach you how to set top-rope anchors. In order to become independent and set your own anchors, you should start acquiring anchor gear. These purchases will be limited by how much money you want/have to spend and how much interest you have in climbing independently. The following gear is not required for the anchors class, but if you have some, you will be able to practice setting it in a controlled, learning environment during the class. All of the gear recommended below can be used for the lead class, and none of it will be wasted if you intend to set your own anchors. All gear should be marked prior to bringing it to class to prevent confusion between it and other people's gear. If you don't know how to mark gear, check with an instructor before doing so to avoid weakening equipment due to improper marking.

OTHER GEAR that you may want to bring to anchors class:

• Pro you may have (hexes, nuts, camming devices, Tri-cams, etc)
• Extra biners (regular D's, ovals, lockers - avoid specialty biners at this time)
• Extra slings (perhaps four 5', two 15' slings, untied lengths)
