Must-Have Accessories for Every Climber's Bag

Whether you're a seasoned climber or just starting, having the right gear in your climbing bag can make all the difference in both safety and performance. Here’s a list of essential accessories every climber should consider packing:

1. Chalk

Chalk is a must-have for improving friction and keeping hands dry. One popular option available at Boulder Planet is Psyche Chalk—designed specifically to keep moisture at bay and provide superior friction.

Psyche chalk adheres to the hands effectively, reducing the need for frequent reapplication, ensuring climbers can focus on their performance without interruptions.

2. Chalk Bags

Chalk bags and buckets are equally important, allowing easy access to your chalk mid-climb. Consider a lightweight chalk bag if you lead climb often. On longer routes, minimizing weight is everything - the less weight you carry, the more you can focus your energy on making hard moves.

3. Brushes

For bouldering and climbing sessions, brushes are essential for cleaning holds, especially on outdoor rock surfaces. Using a brush to clean off dirt and chalk buildup can make a big difference in the quality of each climb, giving you that extra friction when you need it most.

The E9 Brushes available at Boulder Planet are ergonomic, making them easy to keep those holds clean and improve friction. They are also made from recycled plastic and natural bristles, so you can rest assured that their environmental impact is minimal. 

4. Tape

Finger and hand injuries are common in climbing, so it’s helpful to have climbing tape in your bag. Tape can be used to protect your skin and joints, especially in situations where you might be jamming your fingers in cracks or putting significant strain on tendons. It also helps prevent cuts and abrasions, making it an essential for both indoor and outdoor climbers.

From E9 Brushes to Psyche Chalk, you’ll find items designed specifically to enhance your climbing experience.
