Personal Kit: Tape, small knife, chap stick, topo of the route, and other smaller items
Hooks - Advanced aid gear used for climbing face features, thin cracks, or some roofs. These include traditional hooks, cam hooks, and three-pronged talons. They range in size from small to large, and can be used on horizontal face features, in vertical cracks, and under roofs.
Rivet Cable - Small cable used to aid through sections that are linked together with rivets. Consult the topo to determine recommended quantity.
Cleaning tool - Primarily used for removing nuts or stoppers, but can also be used by the leader to remove dirt or small plants from cracks to create a placement.
Below are additional gear considerations if you're planning to spend more than one day on the rock:
