My week of climbing madness

Next week. We plan to camp 4 nights and climb every day. I normally pack way to much gear when I camp and this time I'll also have 11kilos of rack/rope, please guys help me with a kit list as my organisational skill are just plain rubbish!!!!

one set of clothes for climbing with spare warm layer
waterproofs etc
one set of clothes for evening
shared cooking equipment

marmot, ive never climbed apart from at school a couple of times and with someone i met in s. of france who let me have a try with her gear (and her painfully tight shoes) where would you reccomend for a complete novice like my self?

[ollyhol]

the stuff i did was sport in france,

[Marmot]

a local climbing club is th best bet - is there a sports centre near by with a wall - where abouts are u based?
and the other is just bouldering practise - u can start with very little experience and theres generally someone about to show you through some of the problems

Ollyhol. Try this http://www.manchesterclimbingcentre.com/ and think about doing one of the courses. Thats how I got into it (Leeds Wall)

[Marmot]

ive never been to the chester wall, but its got a good reputation of being an awesome location to climb
