Climbing equipment – check regularly
Your gear must be 100% safe. Because your life depends on it!
Therefore, please check your climbing equipment regularly to ensure that it is in good working order, such as carabiners, belay devices or via ferrata sets.
You must also check your climbing equipment for damage. Does your harness have above-average signs of wear? Is the via ferrata set still in perfect condition or is the shock absorber already slightly torn? Does the sheath of the climbing rope have any damage? Are your webbing slings possibly damaged?
If in doubt, we strongly advise you to replace this part of your climbing equipment. The cost of a few new slings, for example, is out of all proportion to the potential damage you could suffer!
Maintain climbing equipment regularly
Think of your climbing equipment as an important friendship. And friendships need to be nurtured!
Here are some important tips for you:
Wash and dry carabiners and express slings regularly and then lubricate with special oil
Clean climbing ropes every few months with a little washing powder in the shower or bathtub
Cleaning functional clothing with the right special detergents
friends Clean from time to time and lubricate with special oil
Replace headlamp batteries regularly

It is not only the inspection and maintenance of your climbing gear that is crucial. Storage is also very important.
Firstly, always store your climbing equipment in as dry a place as possible. Secondly, you should avoid direct sunlight on ropes, harnesses and slings. Firstly, NEVER leave them open in the car in summer. Secondly, NEVER place them on a heater to dry.
Thirdly, NEVER bring your climbing equipment into contact with fuels or oils. Rope in the garage next to the petrol can, for example, is not an option!
Fourthly, never store them together with sharp objects. climbing gear in the same box as the camping axe? A very bad idea!
Discard climbing material!
climbing gear are not intended to last forever. They must be discarded when:
the climbing equipment is obviously damaged
the service life has been exceeded
the storage period has been exceeded
