Cragging Ropes • If you go cragging a lot, then you need to have a good rope that can take the wear and tear top-roping and projecting puts on a rope. There’s nothing better than tying into a fresh line at the start of the season. Here are a few of our favourites.

Summer Sleeping Bags • Having a good sleeping system can make the difference between a successful trip and a restless one. These sleeping bags are built to help you succeed in summer, from roadside camping to high alpine missions.

Sport Climbing Shoes • Rock climbing shoes come in a lot of categories, but most of us need a good pair of sport climbing shoes. They help edge on vertical faces, allow you to hook around corners and toe-in on tiny pockets. Here are some our choices for summer 2021.
