- Climbing harness
A climbing harness is often used around the waist to secure the descender. A comfortable climbing harness is important for descents that may take many hours.[Wikipedia]
- Helmets
Helmets may be worn to protect the head from bumps and falling rocks. A light source may be mounted on the helmet in order to keep the hands free in unlit areas. [Wikipedia]
- Via ferrata gloves
Gloves protect your hands on the steel cable and the rock. With half fingers you can still handle the carabiners well.
- Via ferrata set
Two lanyards with an energy absorber and carabiners, tied into your harness. Check its age and condition; for the odd tour you can rent one.
