Please note that these moderation rules serve as a general framework and can be tailored and expanded upon based on the specific needs and nature of the climbing community.
Rock climbing is an inherently risky and dangerous activity. Participants engage in climbing at their own risk and should ensure they possess the necessary skills, experience, and equipment to mitigate potential hazards.
Decathlon is in Italy, and it's the best sports store I've ever been to, so Id get anything you need sports related from decathlon. I still have a rucksack and a hammock bought from them 10 years ago that work like new. Their shoes are great, their pants are nigh indestructible, if I had any athletic stuff to buy and I was going to Italy I'd just get it in decathlon.
And all of the prices are cheaper than the states for sure, and much higher quality in my opinion
Decathlon is great for getting cheap sports equipment, of all kinds!, The problem is you often get what you pay for. I love it for picking up stuff where I don't care about how it performs (for example I play social football at work ⚽, and a pair of shin pads from there is super cheap and I really don't care how they function).
However, I definitely care a lot about my climbing shoes. So if you're pretty experienced / you're climbing a lot, I wouldn't recommend Decathlon for climbing shoes. (But that's just me...)
Edit: for the record I believe Decathlon is a French brand, and according to wiki they're in 60 countries! Not just Italy 😉
