 * Description: Half of the cost of a custom made pad fit for our bouldering cave at Hampshire College (OPRA will be covering the other half).
 * Purpose: Currently there are multiple pads in the bouldering cave, meaning that there are gaps that people have fallen into between the pads. We would like to order a custom made pad to cover all of the pads already in place to better ensure our safety and to avoid these unsafe falls while bouldering indoors. A large pad often used in indoor climbing facilities made by the company Asana.
 * Storage Location:In the upper RCC bouldering cave

Equipment Information

 * Name: More climbing shoes
 * Description: Climbing shoes/shipping fees. Ordering a bulk of climbing shoes (OPRA will likely join us in the cost and ordering of these shoes) from a company online
 * Purpose: A lot of students are becoming more and more interesting in climbing and have been showing up to our meetings, but do not yet have their own equipment (such as shoes). Climbing shoes make learning how to rock climb much easier, and when someone does not have the appropriate shoes to wear it can be discouraging. Communal shoes will help increase and keep up the interest in bouldering and climbing in new students.
