Housewarming gift for climber

Not sure if this is the right forum but didn't know where else it would go. favorite climbing partner just bought her first house. Need ideas for a clever, climbing themed housewarming gift. Any help is appreciated. 

The guy who makes carabiner coat racks is on this site somewhere. 

You can find drinking glasses that have 14thousand foot peaks in them.

A used hang board.

Rope made floor mat.

That’s all I can think of for now...

These are all great ideas so far! Thank you.

yeah either this or a rope mat for climbing themed gifts. And if they're gentiles then they might like those nut ornaments 

When one of our friends bought their first house we had the same idea - climbing themed house warming gift. After some subtle conversations with them trying to figure out something without letting on what we were thinking about, we eventually bought them.....a really nice convection toaster oven! It was something they really wanted and needed. It was greatly appreciated. Something to consider.

and if she is a witch,  perhaps some hexes.  witches loves hexes. 

If they drink coffee or tea, get them a crimp mug

Is she single/involved? Does she have kids?

Single. No kids. Early 30s. 

Thanks everyone. Great stuff.

Blonde? Brunette?

Does she also drive a Sprinter by any chance?

Good luck. I hope you two are very happy together. You had her at "housewarming gift."

This place is hers. ​Just cut to the chase, and get a generous Lowe's/Home Depot/Target card, plus, if she drinks coffee, a big travel mug and a coffee punch card from wherever is closest.

Or, offer to help paint the place, prowl second hand joints for furniture with her, that sort of thing. Spending time with your friend, doing stuff toward making the place home.

Best, Helen

trying to think of ideas others haven't said... local guide books for the shelf, coffee table books about climbing or mountaineering.

I will be getting a gift card as well. Just wanted something fun in addition. We live in different states, so spending time doing those things is not likely. Hard enough to get time off to meet at various climbing areas!

Lol..not sure where you're going with this, but no, no sprinter. Neither of us is the #vanlife type. Jobs and bills and such...

you can never go wrong with booze.

Housewarming gift for a single lady, with no kids, not involved, not in a relationship...

Slim Shady is right. Booze as a housewarming gift is the answer.

If he is still at it, a smallish one of these would be very nice. Easy to have it go with various colors and such.

Also nice work, IMO.

A matted and framed photo of a climbing memory you share could be nice, if she doesn’t have a bunch of artwork already. Either your own image or a commercial image of a climbing area you both love. Art is usually pretty low down on a new homeowners list to buy for themselves, because it is a “luxury”.  

You can't go wrong with a one of a kind rock inspired totally personalized hand picked Item.

Get her a piece of wall art. or Jewelry hand-crafted by a traveling member of the climbers' tribe.

The Woman is a Gem in her own Right,
  A climber, She splits time as a Gunks Ranger during the climbing season and travels the South West in search of inspiration, crystals and stone part of the year.
