From £32
Our new Gift Centre makes it easier to buy multipasses or memberships as gifts this Christmas!
Multipasses:
Multipasses are a great option for the more casual climber, and can be bought as 4x pass, 8x pass or 12x pass. Essentially these are discounted, bulk-buy entry passes, which can be used at any time of day, for however long they want to climb!
They can also be shared between siblings, couples, etc. (As long as they live at the same address and have the same entry value.)
Memberships:
Perfect for those climbing twice a week or more! We have 1 month or annual options available – both with a multitude of additional benefits, on top of unlimited climbing! (See our membership page for more information.)
Chalk from £3.75 | Chalk Bags from £10
There is potentially too much choice when it comes to choosing which type of chalk, and which chalk bag, to buy for a climber.. Which is why we thought it would be easier to break it down into categories!
Liquid chalk– Used by climbers, weight lifters, gymnasts alike. The difference between liquid chalk and loose chalk is usually the drying agents included, so those with sweatier hands sometimes prefer liquid chalk. It can be less messy, easier to transport and often times requires less re-chalking during sessions!
Loose chalk– Don’t be intimidated by the amount of options; fine, super chunky, crushed, etc. Most climbers really aren’t that fussy, they just dip their hands and go! If you’re not sure what your climber uses – ‘Moon Dust’ is a pretty safe option- as climbers we promise that no one’s ever disappointed with more chalk!
Chalk balls– The least messy, most accessible option. Not going to spill anywhere if you drop your chalk bag, easy to apply on the go. From £3.75 a ball, these are easy to use and last a good amount of time!
Trad bags– These are the smaller chalk bags, usually close with a draw string, (although Moon Trad Bags are changing that up with their snap close ones.) Style wise, the range is extensive. |So whether you want a more simple, subtle bag 0r whether you want something super bright, fluffy (and with eyes?) – we’ve got you covered.
Boulder buckets– These are larger chalk bags, usually with one or multiple pockets/elastic loops to store your plasters, tape, brushes, phone and other climber-y bits and pieces. These take a little more chalk to fill up, but they’re incredibly convenient to carry round the gym/crag as they usually carry everything you could possibly need.
From £10
Gift cards can be used in the shop, towards climbing shoes or memberships or even used in the cafe – so these are great options for those climbers who seem to have absolutely everything!
We can sell these in person, or over the phone and posted the same day – so give our reception a call and we’ll sort you out – 01603 513513
From £6
Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Fill their stocking with climbing must-haves like brushes for keeping holds clean, climbing tape to protect those hard-working fingers, and skincare goodies to soothe post-session skin.
