Leisure Kicks - The essencial sport and leisure guide

You can certainly buy or hire from your local climbing wall, but if you want to take the next steps into becoming a serious climber, here are a few things you should invest in:

Shoes: Unlike regular shoes, climbing shoes need to be quite tight to balance better, and stand precisely on the small holds.
