Wild Country has a long history of producing gear for the UK climbing scene. Recently the harness range has been totally revamped, and without wanting to spoil this review, they have done a great job of bringing back some core models that really put the offering right back up with the best brands out there. The Session 2.0 and Mosquito are very different to each other, with a contrasting set of features and different end use in mind. Here we take a look at both of them, each in their natural..." go to full review

For those seeking powerful and precise shoes for steep and technical climbing, where you really want to use the toe to pull in on the holds, the Ocun Diamond S is a great option. The comfy sock liner and stitch-free heel cup are a welcome addition to the 'advanced' shoe field, where comfort can be a bit hard to come by, and they make the Diamond S a great option for those who are looking for a shoe to help them ease into steeper and more advanced climbing.go to full review

The Master Pro 9.2mm is a good, lightweight sport climbing all-rounder. It's capable of being a rope you'd want to use whilst redpointing, but also one you could use for working routes. It's got a lovely soft feel from first use, and that continues with time; but just keep an eye on wear because this is, after all, a lightweight performance oriented rope.go to full review

Perfect for speed hiking: lightweight, breathable, and super comfortable, these great trail shoes allow you to wear them confidently.

The new 2025 ADJAMA weighs in at 385g (size Medium), which is 20% lighter than the older blue version. This lightweight climbing harness is a solid harness that is a great all-rounder for intermediate climbers and a great addition to the PETZL harness range. It’s very difficult to make safety equipment sustainable as it’s definitely safety first, but Petzl have managed to make the exterior fabric from 100% recycled polyester. The harness also comes with a great storage pouch for easy..." go to full review

The Technicians served me wonderfully. It wasn’t a given that the low-top suede shoes would. I preemptively swapped out the factory footbeds with Superfeet beds to give my arches added support for the long day. I was happy to discover that there was still enough room in the toe box for the thicker footbeds to fit comfortably. With technical shoes that require a more precise fit, the swapped footbeds sometimes result in my toes feeling too constricted.go to full review
