My Expedition Rocks

Ducking and diving straight in to the punches this year, with injured shoulder, thumb and something else. The latter two weren’t even from climbing.

Back in 2025 I was up in the Lakes doing an amazing link up through the mountains, 17 pitches with amazing views throughout. Hopefully try and get another in before the year is out.

Multi pitch climbing is unbelievably liberating, and my climbing journey has taken me all over the place, but places like this can’t be simulated indoors.

Our business has had to evolve over the years, and although climbing was integral we did specialise in a couple of areas. We have now decided to focus entirely on climbing and with that we have extremely good kit doing nothing.

If you would be keen to buy any of our kit that still has life for adventure, please let us know and we’ll get the link up asap to purchase these items.

Although some could do with a quick clean they’re all in good condition with plenty of life left in them. Prices are per item.

£7.50 for boots 12K-3
£10.00 for boots 4-13

£15 for Keela jacket
£10 for Keela trousers

£10 each for Kids jackets and trousers

£15 for sleeping bag

Due to volume we are unable to offer discounts as we are clearing out and need to keep it simple. Collection only from Carleton, Skipton.

Great catch by my mate Cal as I work this 3 star classic. My head game pops in and out all the time, I came back a few weeks later and climbed the route on top rope 3 times with no issues, even lead above the half way point with no issues. This move has been my Achilles heel and I can’t do it the same way everyone else does.

Learning gear placements on a recent Mountain Training Learn to Lead Trad course, would you know what you’re looking for to know you’ve placed good gear. Can you see any faults, concerns or limitations with these placements?

Took these two awesome dudes for a boulder the other day at . Benchmarking ourselves and having fun, especially when it came to the O-dawg. The D wanted a little bit of coaching, so with encouragement and some simple movement changes she smashed loads.
