Rock + Run

This is our Rock+Run Essentials range. Having been in business since 1983, we've come to appreciate what climbers, hikers, runners and campers really want from their kit - high quality, cost effective products that do exactly what they say on the tin. This week's video comes from the very familiar boulders of Switzerland where we join Daniel Woods and Mellow for a tour of Fionnay. Having had some time out of the climbing limelight with the young gun likes of Shawn Raboutou, Aidan Roberts and Will Bosi stealing the big bouldering tick headlines, it's nice to have some time to enjoy Daniel Woods' again. As strong as ever, we're treated to a vintage masterclass from Daniel who takes down an array of superb boulders with the highlight being a V14 flash.  This week's video comes from the very familiar boulders of Switzerland where we join Daniel Woods and Mellow for a tour of Fionnay.

Well yes but, amidst the malay of madness, 2022 saw the release of some superb outdoor gear and in this article we're going to be celebrating the products that made a serious splash. From cutting edge innovation to subtle improvements that flew beneath the radar, here are 5 of our favourite bits of kit from 2022. This week's video is yet the latest from climbing's best, Adam Ondra. Coming to us from the cave that has become synonymous with the pinnacle of the sport climbing scene, Adam shows us around his latest Flatanger undertaking - Project BIG. A monstrous line, Project BIG is the king line of the Flatanger cave and stands as the last great, unclimbed project there with Ondra having previously been intimidated by its huge presence. Rumoured to be harder than Silence 9c, Jakob Schubert (trying the route alongside Adam) says he's not sure a more substantial project exists. Check out these two climbing giants taking on their biggest project to date below. This week's video is yet the latest from climbing's best, Adam Ondra.

This week's video comes from the Sender One gym in Los Angeles where renowned Italian climber, Stefano Ghisolfi, is taking a quick pit stop on the way to Bishop. This isn't a regular stop off for Ghisolfi however, who attempts to climb over 100 boulders in the gym inside an hour's time limit. Can he do it? Click below to find out.

I made a (hilariously long) journey to the store from the south east and it was totally worth it. Every member of staff I encountered both in person and by email were friendly, helpful and knowledgable to say the least; and it really felt like they went above and beyond for me during my time with them. Thank you all for making it such an enjoyable experience and for the recommendations! A special thank you to Pete (who was lovely by email) and to Tess, Anna and Mike for helping me with everything from socks to fitting various crampons to my boots without complaint. I’ll definitely be back!

Great store, with some great offers. Customer service is fantastic, had a recent problem with my order and the rock and run team quickly contacted me to resolve the issue, and then also sent me out some freebies. Excellent service from an excellent store.

Good stock and it's cool to see they do some of their own branded stuff to do which is really affordable. Those sit start bouldering mats are the best you can buy, same with brushes

Great professionalism and knowledge from Peter. He has been extremely patient with me when opting for a climbing shoe. Can't recommend highly enough!

These guys sell good shoes, but they charge you for return postage. This is a really unusual business model and with climbing shoes is borderline ridiculous. I've got a pair of shoes that I'm considering keeping, even though they are too small, based on the fact that I can't afford to send them back for a second time. I'm really surprised by this and super dissapointed.
