What gear is needed/recommended to bring from outside the country for a climbing trip to Cuba?
score:5
Accepted answer
It's highly recommended you bring gear, not only for yourself, but to leave behind for the local Cubans.
CubaClimbing.com, PlanetMountain and others all pretty much say the following:
To sustain the local climbers, please pack extra climbing gear and leave it all behind. The Cubans need climbing equipment, as it's impossible to get it locally. The majority of visitors now follow the tradition initiated by the first visiting climbers, who left their rack, ropes, shoes and harnesses in Cuba. Try it—you will feel very gratified. Some suggestions: Most useful are the basics: shoes, harnesses, ropes, chalk, pads and packs. However, the single biggest need to propel Cuban climbing forward is bolts and hangers.
So, basically, don't assume anything is available, and bring all you need.
Sources above, and also I was in Cuba earlier this year. Incidentally, it's changing very, very quickly so for future readers, do actually check those sites as the information may update/change soon.
