You have translated some verbs using the reflexive. As you have the infinitival TO you should translate them into Spanish with the infinitive. Using the reflexive will depend on the context.
Here are some more words:
Sling: cinta espres; espres; cinta
Harness: arnés
Carabiner: mosquetón
Locking carabiner: mosquetón de cierre, mosquetón con seguro.
Nuts: fisureros, empotradores
Cams: friends (English word!!)
Pitons: clavos
Expansion bolt: parabol(t)
Bolt hanger: chapa
Gri-gri: gri-gri, grillo
Lead: de primero
Follow: de segundo
Toprope: toprope, cuerda por arriba
Aid-climbing (=bi wall?): escalada artificial
Sport climbing: escalada deportiva ( a more colloquial word "hacer friqui")
Trad-climbing: escalada de largos, escalada en pared, (alpino?)

Hey great thanks for the corrections! I wasnt sure if flojo or goma were the proper words to use, good to know.
Ha...i think its pretty funny that for Aid-climbing you say escalada artificial!
I put the infinitive '"to" in brackets, and translated using the reflexive so people remember that, depending on context, they can be reflexive too . (Very confusing stuff for English speakers!)
