Where passion meets precision in climbing gear

Our Story

Born from the rugged cliffs of Durham, Cragforce Climb Shop has been equipping adventurers since 2015. What began as a small local outfitter has grown into a trusted global destination for climbers who demand performance, safety, and value in their gear.

Why We Climb

We believe every ascent deserves the right equipment – whether you’re tackling your first indoor route or preparing for a multi-pitch alpine adventure. Our mission is simple:

  • Curate the most reliable climbing gear from top brands
  • Democratize access to premium equipment with competitive pricing
  • Educate our community about safety and performance

The Cragforce Difference

Specialized Selection

From high-performance climbing shoes to certified safety helmets, we focus exclusively on what climbers need. Our inventory spans:

  • Technical footwear for every style (lace-up, hook-and-loop, slip-on)
  • Helmets engineered for impact protection (hybrid, foam, hardshell)
  • Harness systems tailored to your climb (sit, chest, full-body)
  • Ropes and slings for all scenarios (single, twin, static, quickdraw)

Value Without Compromise

We negotiate directly with manufacturers to bring you premium gear at reduced prices. Our seasonal sales and exclusive offers make professional equipment accessible to more climbers.

Global Reach, Local Knowledge

While we ship worldwide (excluding some remote areas), we maintain the expertise of a boutique climbing shop. Our team tests every product category we sell – these aren’t just items in a warehouse, but tools we trust on real climbs.

Join the Ascent

More than a shop, we’re building a community of climbers who share our values:

“Safety shouldn’t be luxury, performance shouldn’t be prohibitive, and every climber deserves gear that won’t let them down.”

Whether you’re browsing our eco-conscious climbing shoes or comparing via ferrata sets, we’re here to help you make informed choices.
