Gifts for Outdoor Trad Climbers

New trad climbers have a problem: they spent every dollar on a rack. What they cannot justify buying are the support items that make protection-placing feel less terrifying: the organized gear sling, the logbook for tracking which nut size finally held, the technique book that no instructor has time to hand out. This drop treats trad climbing as the serious alpine discipline it is — nothing here belongs on a bouldering gym gift list.
