Borrowing equipment 

Linköping klätterklubb holds some equipment that you as a member can borrow. If you think something is missing, we are happy to receive suggestions for the purchase of new equipment. Contact the board or lending manager and tell us what you would like the club to buy.

How to borrow

Send a letter to utlaning@linkopingsklatterklubb.se, to be sure to get the equipment on time and get in touch at least a week before you need it. All equipment is in the Hangar and left out of there.

Lending conditions

You must be a member of the club in order to borrow our equipment. The borrowing period is two weeks if no special agreements exist. When you borrow equipment, we write down your name, email and phone number. Equipment must be inspected before and after the rental to ensure quality and safety. If the equipment is subjected to stress or damage, it is important that you report it!

Library

The club has a library of guides, books and films that you as a member can borrow home. If you have a request or tip on something that we should buy for the library, please contact the club’s board.

Borrowing

The library is located in the climbing hall. Talk to the wall manager, they have access to the library and are happy to lend you a book. When you borrow from the library, we write down your name and phone number to know who has borrowed what. The rental period is usually four weeks but if there is no queue, it is no problem to extend the time. We would like you to be careful with the rental books so that they do not wear out too quickly.
