Climbing Equipment Care & Maintenance

This booklet helps the reader to understand the limitations of climbing equipment, and recognise the situations that may cause it to become damaged or even fail. Should you throw a rope away after washing it in detergent? What’s a stress fracture? That’s where the BMC’s Care & Maintenance Book comes in handy. This is a concise 60-page full colour guide to caring for your kit, and should be one piece of gear you shouldn’t forget.
