Equipment Storage and Care

  • All equipment is to be stored in a metal trunk or bag.
  • An inventory of each trunk’s contents is to be kept inside.
  • Each climber should be responsible for his own personal climbing equipment.
  • As a rule all nylon equipment including ropes should be replaced every 4 to 5 years.
  • Never store the trunk or any of the contents near or with chemicals.
  • Never use the equipment for any other use other than climbing and abseiling.
  • Equipment should be kept together as a unit in the metal trunk and not mixed up with other equipment.
  • Never store the equipment when it is wet.
