∙ 11y agoThat really depends on what style of climbing you are doing.
For trad, sport, aid, and ice you will need a harness, rope, carabiners, helmet, protection (specialized gear like quickdraws or cams), and some specialized shoe for the style.
For bouldering you need shoes and a crashpad.
For deepwater you just need shoes (maybe).
Chalk is also nice.
don't just go buy gear and try it out though. Go with someone who knows what their doing, learn the sport, and use their gear for a bit.
