We select our staff carefully for their knowledge and experience and they in turn select our product range which is what they would choose to use on the hills, underground or out in the backcountry. So you can be sure that our range is the best for you as well.
Come in store for more advice, for the best walking boot fitting service, or to have a rucksack, rockshoe, trail running shoe, race vest or walking shoe personally fitted by our experts.
If you can't find exactly what you are looking for or if its something a bit more unique or niche then please get in touch and we will make sure you get what you need.
Climbers Club
Pembroke North (Vol 1) Cardigan Bay to Milford Haven
Pembroke North – volume 1 – but fourth to appear – covers the area from Ceredigeon in the north (slightly outside the county!) to Milford Haven. The variety and quality of the climbing on offer beautifully compliments the stunning scenery. Traditional climbing remains the main focus with the classic crags, Carey-y-Barcud, Porthclais, and Caerfai rightly taking pride of place, although St David’s Head is now given the prominence it deserves.
Climbers Club
Pembroke Range West (Vol 2) Milford Haven to Perimeter Bays
Pembroke Range West – volume 2 – is the last in the definitive series (but by Range West devotees is not viewed as the least). As the name suggests it covers the part of Castlemartin Range extending westwards from Stack Rocks car park.
Climbers Club
Pembroke Range East (Vol 5) Stackpole & Lydstep
The new Pembroke Stackpole / Lydstep describes over 1100 routes over a fifteen mile stretch of the Pembrokeshire coastline – idyllic coves separated by picturesque beaches characterise much of the climbing in this area.
