ps. the minimum climbing gear nessesary to climb at the red

rope(60m prefered)
harnes
ATC w/locking beaner
10 quick draws

So you are really missing the majority of your gear, unless you consider price, then you are missing about 1/3 of your gear. I recommend putting up for some draws. Not too expensive and you will NOT regret the investment. You can even get the cheap ones, thats what I do :wink:

I got an awesome deal on my Freewire's: 14 for $135 ($9.60 each). I just kept my eye on google shopping and one day I saw a great deal.
