Full set of SRT gear for the frog system, with several optional extras; braking carabiner, foot jammer, whistle, knife, spanner and a carabiner on the end of the safety cord, which serves as a third cows tail and allows it to be clipped to a gear loop when not in use. While shown on the outside here for illustrative purposes, cords around the neck are best tucked inside an oversuit so they cannot be snagged, and the cord should be weak enough to snap if snagged.

The full set of equipment worn by a caver, and used for SRT, which includes items from this list. The exact equipment will depend on what descender and prusiking system they have chosen to use, and whether the cave is set up for Alpine rigging or indestructible rope technique.
