Most people use climbing shoes. These help them climb up rocks.
One piece of gear for climbing is called a climbing rope.
Another piece of climbing gear is called a harness. The rope connects to the harness.

Helmets are also important for climbers. If they fall and hit their head, it can hurt a lot.
