Buying the right climbing equipment on sale

Buying cheap climbing equipment is sometimes not as easy as buying cheap climbing clothes or shoes, for example. This is often because climbing ropes, harnesses, belay devices and carabiners are available unchanged over several years and are not subject to the seasonal fluctuations of winter collections and summer collections.

Nevertheless, climbing ropes, climbing hardware and climbing accessories can also be bought at lower prices in the Alpinetrek.co.uk climbing equipment outlet. Discounts are made possible by buying large quantities or they can arise through the purchase of special items, model changes or cooperation with certain manufacturers, such as Black Diamond, Edelrid or Petzl.

Buy climbing harnesses, climbing shoes and climbing backpacks on sale

Good bargains are easily found by climbers with particularly small or very large feet. These so-called extreme sizes are often offered very cheaply in sales. Climbers with very common and frequently purchased shoe sizes, on the other hand, are more likely to be well advised to buy leftover stock or last year's models in order to get a cheap climbing shoe.

Newer climbing harnesses, climbing backpacks, rope bags and chalk bags also tend to be developed more quickly than pure climbing hardware. Due to changes in models, new colours, designs and other technical modifications, many pieces of "textile" climbing equipment can be found in summer sales and winter sales, just like climbing shirts, bouldering trousers or approach shoes. This is the secret of how climbers can get hold of cheap climbing harnesses and climbing backpacks.

Climbing ropes outlet and carabiner discounts

Since climbing ropes have to be replaced after a certain time, Alpinetrek.co.uk and rope manufacturers, such as Edelrid or Mammut, are always interested in not storing climbing ropes for too long. Therefore a large quantity of stock can result in attractive price reductions in the climbing ropes outlet, as can bulk discounts or our own products, which are made to order for Alpine Trekkers. Of course, this applies equally to single ropes, twin ropes, half ropes and static ropes. Nylon and Dyneema sewn slings, slings for quickdraws, cords and daisy chains are also handled in the same way.

While climbing helmets, crash pads and via ferrata sets can often be found at low prices in the climbing sales, belay devices, camming devices, climbing nuts and carabiners are more rarely discounted or are offered with smaller discounts. This pricing consistency is partly due to the longer product cycles of carabiners and belay devices, and partly due to the fact that profit margins for climbing hardware are often very slim. Nevertheless, sport climbers, mountaineers and ice climbers can also find decent and affordable offers in the climbing equipment category. These discounts can be achieved through optimal purchasing conditions, practical special offers as part of a set and focused clearance sales. Following this advice, climbers can always find suitable hardware to complement their climbing equipment and buy it online at attractive prices.
