The Climbers Shop

I’ve purchased trail running and climbing gear from The Climbers Shop, and I’m always impressed. Their team has amazing local and race knowledge, often using the same equipment in the races I do. The advice is practical and based on real-world experience. They sell winter hiking and climbing gear, and even accessories for dogs. Customer service is excellent; always friendly and helpful. If you need quality gear and expert guidance, I highly recommend them!

Great service. Had to return 2 pairs of rock shoes as they didn't fit. Customer service was top notch and the products sent were very good quality. Ordered correct sizes and they arrived so fast as did the original order. Would highly recommend.

Excellent shop! Lovely friendly staff and a good range of gear, with very competitive prices. I’ve bought from them both online and in store and always been happy.

What can I say. The best specialist shop in the UK. Bought a pair of scarpa walking boots had a problem with them. Absolutely no quibble they were exchanged so easy,, the Nepal assistant I dealt with listened to my problem and exchanged straight away. First class service maybe dearer than Internet. But the service skill of boot fitting is first class, I have been to many outdoor stores Independent and chains. This store is far and away the best

Ordered a pair of gloves very close to the cut off time for dispatch the same day. They arrived the following morning at 9am Outstanding service Will definitely shop again when l need the next bit of kit and thanks for the glove water proofing wax?

Of the many, many outdoor shops in Ambleside, this one feels the most authentic (it’s 65th anniversary this year adds to that status). The staff are genuinely knowledgeable and happy to give advice. The gear sold is the real deal, not just gorpcore fashion.

I only needed a repair kit for my old Thermarest. I couldn't find one in store but they searched & found a couple of options for me. Proper old school outdoor rather than 'lifestyle' store. Mat now fixed.

Thanks for the great advice on the micro spikes for my walks out in the snow covered hills. They have been perfect.
