Care Information

Climbing, professional, and rescue equipment are investments in your safety. Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your gear.

• Sport Climbing Equipment

Harness

• Clean with clean water and mild soap (pH neutral). Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
• Dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Check regularly: seams, buckles, and webbing for signs of wear, tears, or damage.
• Store in a dry, cool place, away from chemicals, oils, and UV rays.
• Replace the harness if it has been dropped under a heavy load (high fall factor), shows visible damage, or is more than 10 years old from the date of manufacture.

Tali / Rope

• Wash with cold water and a special rope wash. Rinse thoroughly.
• Air-dry; avoid tumble dryers and direct sunlight.
• Store in a rope bag or loosely coiled in a cool, dry place.
• Avoid contact with chemicals, acids, bases, and oils.
• Check periodically for core damage, sheath wear, and stiff spots.
• Retire the rope after a high fall factor, if damage to the sheath or core is visible, or as recommended by the manufacturer.

Carabiner & Hardware

• Clean with clean water and a soft brush. Dry thoroughly before storing.
• Lubricate the valve spring with a dry lubricant if it feels stiff.
• Check: that the valve is working properly, and inspect the seat and locking mechanism, as well as the surfaces, for any signs of cracks or corrosion.
• Do not use a carabiner that has fallen from a significant height or appears to be cracked or bent.

Climbing shoes

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid soaking in water.
  
• Dry in the shade in a well-ventilated area.
  
• Store in a cool, dry place; avoid excessive pressure, which may cause the shoes to lose their shape.
  
• The soles can be re-soled by a professional climbing shoe technician when the rubber begins to wear thin.

- Professional / Industrial Rope Access

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

• Follow the maintenance standards set out in EN 365 and the manufacturer’s guidelines for each item of equipment.
• Record every use in the equipment log book — date, condition and any incidents.
• Carry out a pre-use inspection before each use and periodic inspections by a Competent Person.
• Store separately from chemicals, heat and other sources of contamination.

Descender & Ascender

• Clean off dirt, dust and debris after each use.
• Check the cam, teeth and moving parts for wear or damage.
• Lubricate the moving parts in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Store in a dry and clean place.

Anchor & Rigging Equipment

• Thoroughly inspect webbing slings, rope slings and anchor points before use.
• Replace any slings showing signs of wear, excessive UV exposure or chemical contamination.
• Document all inspections in the equipment log book.

- Rescue Equipment

Rescue Rope & Rigging

• Clean after every rescue operation — particularly if it has come into contact with mud, seawater or chemicals.
• Dry thoroughly before storing to prevent mould and fibre degradation.
• Store in a clean, dry rope bag, ready for deployment at any time.
• Carry out load tests and regular inspections in accordance with the team’s standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Rescue Hardware (Pulley, Prusik, Belay Device)

• Clean and inspect after each operational use.
• Ensure that all moving parts are functioning correctly and are free from debris.
• Replace immediately if any damage is found — do not use equipment whose condition is in doubt.

Helmet

• Clean with water and mild soap. Avoid chemical solvents.
• Check the shell, suspension system and chin strap regularly.
• Replace the helmet after it has sustained a significant impact, even if there is no visible external damage.
• Replace in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations (generally 5–10 years from the date of manufacture).

- General Principles of Care

• Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines — each product has different care specifications.
• Discard equipment that has exceeded its service life, appears damaged, or has been subjected to extreme loads.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way.
• Store it correctly — away from UV light, heat, chemicals and excessive moisture.
• If you are unsure about the condition of the equipment, do not use it and consult us.
