We've sorted out a brilliant main present and three stocking fillers for the climber in your life, all while saving you a few quid and ensuring they pay attention when belaying you thrown into the bargain! There'll be no more getting a cricked neck belaying with these top of the range Y&Y Classic Belay Glasses (regular price £54). If you've not seen them, they use a clever mirroring system to allow you to watch your partner climbing above you without raising your head. Then the stocking fillers: a red, green, blue or grey chalk bag from top British brand, DMM (worth £12.99), a chalk ball to go in it (£2.50), and a BMC Rock Climbing Essentials DVD (£16).
Kit the winter walker in your life out with this high-quality mini survival kit and you'll worry less about their well-being on the hill: win win! Petzl's E+lite weighs just 27g and can be stored with its batteries for 10 years: the perfect emergency torch to always keep in your bag. Plus there’s a Lifesystems survival bag, designed to reduce the loss of body heat and the risk of hypothermia in an emergency. Reusable handwarmers can be tucked inside your gloves or coat pockets for a welcome warm-up on icy days, and the windproof matches will light in all weather conditions and come stored in a tough polycarbonate container. Finally, our Winter Essentials DVD will ensure they’re brushed up on all they need to know. Sorted.
