    Hey guys,

    I was out hiking the other day near my house and I found some small ledges that I think I’d like to climb. Problem is, I have no climbing gear. I’m tempted to free climb it (without gear) but being a newbie to this area, I don’t want to end up in the hospital.

    So, to any experienced climbers out there, what are the basics I need for a successful climb on a small budget? The ledges I found were ~30 feet high. I’d like my gear to handle that plus some, but nothing crazy. Feel free to unload with brands, prices, pros, cons, etc.

    Thanks!
