What gear is needed/recommended to bring from outside the country for a climbing trip to Cuba? - From above of anonymous male traveler standing on edge of rocky cliff above above azure rippling sea in tropical country

I am going rock climbing in Viñales and other spots around Cuba and want to know if helmets, quickdraws, rope, etc. are easy to borrow from fellow climbers or rent from locals? Or does everyone bring their own gear?

I already plan to bring the basics: climbing shoes, harness, belay device, and carabiner.
