Best Gifts For Rock Climbers

Strong hands and wrists along with finger dexterity are all important for people who love to climb. So this 6 piece set makes an ideal gift for the rock climbing enthusiast!

Made from durable top-quality silicone, it contains all you need for three levels of strengthening, from beginner to advanced. It has a weight value of between 30 and 50 lbs (14-23 kg), helping balance grip muscles and reduce fatigue.

Each piece helps prevent conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel, tendonitis, and tennis elbow. The exercises can also be useful in helping with the recovery of anyone already experiencing these problems.

ClimbOn The All-Purpose Lotion Bar

This lotion bar is one of our favorite gifts for rock climbers as it has so many great uses!

Rich and nourishing, this concentrated lotion bar is made from only plant-based products and beeswax, with absolutely no synthetics, fillers, or GMOs.

It can be used to soften dry skin on the hands or feet, ease discomfort from calluses and blisters, and even relieve the pain from rashes, burns, and stings.

Because the lotion is not diluted with water, you don’t need to use much in one application. In fact, just 1 ounce will last as long as 8 ounces of regular lotion!

Packaged in a recyclable steel can, it is compact and easy to carry.

Belay Glasses For Rock Climbing

Designed for belaying, these glasses make great climbing gifts and show just how much you care!

They are made with prisms that enable the climber to look straight ahead rather than crane their neck to secure themselves. As any climber can tell you, this relieves the considerable neck strain that often comes with belaying.

They also have the perfect 60-degree angle that is required to belay a partner. Made with high-quality materials, these glasses have a sturdy feel and resistance tests showed that even after 50 falls of 5’7″ the prisms remained firmly in place.

They are compatible with eyeglasses and sunglasses, so they are easy for anyone to use. Available in black, blue, or red, they come with a hard case with a carabiner, a neck strap, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and spare screws.

Rock Climbing Mug

Been there, got the mug!

This rock climbing mug is a fun gift for climbers, featuring a real rock climbing hold that serves as a handle. The holds come in six different colors, including orange, red, and even swirls!

Made in the USA from high-quality ceramic, the mug has a generous capacity of 12 fluid ounces.

Crag Cards Essential Climbing Knots

If you are looking for budget climbing gifts, this cool guide to tying knots is ideal. It is made up of a set of ten cards, each providing easy to follow, step-by-step instructions for tying the 19 most commonly used and useful climbing knots.

Each card is waterproof and printed on ultra-durable plastic, so there is no need to worry about them being damaged by the elements. To make it easy to carry along when out and about, they are small and compact.

Weighing just an ounce and measuring 3.5 x 2.25 inches, they are only slightly bigger than a credit card – and certainly far easier to carry around than a knot-tying book!

They also come with a braided steel loop, which makes them easy to clip to a harness or pack. All the important knots are covered, including the Figure 8 Knot, the Double Overhand Knot, and the Double Bowline.

Valley Climbing Chalk Bag

The best gifts for rock climbers are those designed by someone with climbing experience – and this chalk bag is a great example!

Initially designed by a climber in Salt Lake City, it has undergone several revisions after feedback from the climbing community. This means it’s one of the best you can get!

It has a stiff rim for durability and robust stitching – essential features for any chalk bag! It also has a brush loop (although you need to buy a brush separately) and an ABS buckle with a slim waist strap.

The exterior is made from water-repellent nylon that is both stronger and lighter than polyester, whilst the interior is lined with soft fleece.

A tightly closing adjustable drawstring ensures that your chalk won’t spill and the bag comes with 2 roomy zippered pockets, ideal for your wallet, keys, and phone.

Seibertron Full Finger Climbing Gloves

A good pair of climbing gloves offer invaluable protection against rough surfaces and this pair has many features that make them the perfect gift.

Available in six sizes – from extra small to XX-large – they are made from reinforced synthetic leather. For superior durability, they also feature Kevlar stitching on the palms.

To help minimize shock and effectively reduce hand fatigue, these gloves are also nicely padded on the palm. They have a puller on the middle and ring fingers to make it easy to remove them quickly.

There is no need to worry about these gloves getting mixed up with the gear of others, as they come with an ID tag on the wrist for name marking and to make them easy to hang.

Rock Climbing Unisex Vintage Blend V-Neck T-Shirt

This cool t-shirt is perfect for either men or women and is a great – but subtle – way for them to show just how much they love to climb!

It comes in 4 different sizes – small to extra large – and is made from 100% airlume combed and ringspun cotton.

The skillful design was drawn and screen printed (silk screened) by the company’s Ann Arbor-based illustrators and printers. You can even visit them if you’re passing to see how it’s done!

Rather than looking boxy, this t-shirt has a flattering, slightly tapered style and has been treated with a mineral wash to give it its faded, vintage effect. It has a high thread count and is soft and comfortable to wear.

Ucraft Xlite Rock Climbing And Bouldering Capri Pants

Pants designed specifically for climbing make a great gift – and these ¾ length capri pants are ideal for everyone. Suitable for both men and women, they come in four different sizes and ten different colors, including purple, pink, graphite, and deep blue.

They were originally designed by climbers and have been gradually altered based on feedback, creating a product that is incredibly comfortable. The fabric is made of a mixture of 92% polyester and 8% Spandex, so it is lightweight but strong, with just the right amount of stretch.

The belt is comfortable, too, made with a thin elastic band and designed to fit easily under a harness. There are also four handy outer pockets.

Two are zippered – ideal for keeping belongings like a phone, keys, or wallet safe. There are also convenient loops for a brush and chalk bag.

Ergonomically designed to work around the fingers’ natural contours, it includes a skin file with two different textures to keep skin smooth and protect against cracks and tears.

The sandpaper can easily be replaced when needed so this is a gift that will remain useful for a long time to come.
