Surely the whole point of a mat is for if or when you take a drop....and that drop only needs to be once and the mat has justified it%26#039;s cost.In an ideal world we wouldn%26#039;t have to buy mats...or ropes and harnesses for that matter and none of that expensive belay gear because we%26#039;d never fall so would never need any of it.
Same argument isn%26#039;t it?
The mat is there for a purpose and only you can answer if that purpose is worth the cost.
I%26#039;d suggest you weigh the one off cost against your health..... 100% 1 Vote

Most climb walls have their own crash pads. If it%26#039;s outdoor climbing you%26#039;re into, then you don%26#039;t really need a crash pad, as you should be harnessed up and shouldn%26#039;t ever fall really. For bouldering, just don%26#039;t go too high and you won%26#039;t really need a crash pad.
They are quite expensive too, but if you relaly feel the need to get on, why not club together with a couple of climbing buddies to split the cost?? 0% 0 Votes -
Can you rent one?
