In this section we'll try to collect and collate some of the most Frequently Asked Questions we get at Wild Country. This collection should hopefully help answer some of the queries you have about gear, or other aspects of climbing, and build into a portfolio of useful knowledge. As we get more and more of the these we will attempt to file them in groups but for now they'll be in a big long list.... If you do have a question thats not on the list remember to contact us through the feedback form. Click here to access the Feedback Form. Q. "I've dropped a piece of hardware / biner / belay device do i need to retire it?"
A. In general the answer is no. Climbing hardware is very tough reliable and the metals used are not too brittle so that they will take their fair share of hammer. However, like all these things it is a case of examining the unit very carefully and minutely and looking for anything untoward. If you have any doubts the best advice is to retire it. Climbing gear is such good value that it's not worth killing yourself over an items that's the cost of a couple of beers in most parts of the world... Q. What do i clean and lubricate my Friends with?
