Are you scratching your head about what the best gifts for rock climbers might be? What do climbers want?! What on earth do they want!! Good god, why can’t they just have a normal hobby, something that is easier to shop for??!

If that sounds like you, then rest at ease, because I’m going to give you some of my favorite options that any rock climber would love to get. From the practical gifts (the things we always need more of as climbers) to the nice-to-have rock climbing gifts, there are a limitless list of options to choose from.

You’re also in luck because we climbers tend to be cheap. We buy what we need, hold onto it forever, and only upgrade when absolutely necessary (as in, it’s falling apart necessary), so getting something new will be a lovely surprise to any climber or boulderer.
