This list includes the companies from whom we stock a large chunk of their range. This is not an exhaustive list however as we select particular items from the ranges of many other manufacturers and suppliers such as Mad Rock, Evolv, Simond, AustriAlpin, Holdfast, Core, Cicerone, Kong and a whole bunch of others.
We can’t guarantee that other websites (possibly some of these) won't includes nebulous, almost meaningless marketing gobbledegook though we can try to translate it afterwards.

World renowned climbing brand and one of our major suppliers. We stock almost everything that they do. A climbing shop is not a climbing shop without DMM. |
 |
As above really. Known as ‘the cam company’ due to their development of the Friend. We stock not just the Friends though, but their gear right across the climbing range. |
 |
Another internationally famous climbing company and another of our major suppliers. Helmets, harnesses, headtorches and loads of stuff that doesn't begin with H. Much of our Industrial Rope Access Kit comes from these guys. |
 |
BD Camalots are known the world over but we also stock lots of their harnesses, krabs, ice screws . . . . . the list goes on. |
 |
If there’s one thing the Italians are good at it is footwear. Especially rock shoes and mountain boots. Actually they are pretty good at food, drink, skiing, sports cars, etc. |
 |
Boreal rose to dominance of the rock shoe scene when they came up with the idea of sticky rubber. We have a bigger range of Boreal rock shoes than many shops have of all brands of rock shoes added together. |
 |
5.10’s rock shoes ‘stealth’ rubber has always had rave reviews from the hardest climbers. It’s on their less technical shoes too. |
 |
Yet another of those brands where we seem to do almost everything they do. |
 |
Their mountain boots are world famous and some of their rock shoes are amongst our staff favourites. |
 |
Masters of crampon manufacturing, though we sell as many of their helmets as their crampons, from kids sized to the largest of extra large bonce size. |
 |
Probably the biggest climbing gear manufacturer in the world. |
 |
These guys make some special (and specialist) kit. When they come up with something innovative you can be sure it’s good. Also check out their website for fingerboard training tips. |
| Climb On, Beta Stick and the truly brilliant Kahtoola crampons are all piled into Rock On's shops from Beta Climbing Designs. | |
 |
Ben Moon is one of the world’s best known climbers who continues to climb hard whilst ensuring we have a ready supply of climbing clothing and boulder mats, chalkbags etc. The Moon Cypher pant could even be iconic – if that’s possible for a pair of trousers. |
 |
The ropes of choice of nearly all our shop staff are Edelweiss. Once you’ve used one no other rope will feel the same. If you want a rope to last, these are your guys. |
 |
Probably the best known rope brand in the world. They have a climbing rope for any climbing you might fancy. |
 |
Not too much of Trango’s kit comes to the UK, but one go with the cinch belay device and you’ll want one. |
 |
Beal have a massive range of ropes with the lowest impact forces of any rope. If you want to know what that means give us a call. |
 |
Crux rucksacks are not simply bags, they are climbing equipment. Only a climber could design and produce these amazing rucksacks. Strong, light and simple – exactly what you want. |
 |
Another very special specialist American company. For now we can only get their screamers, but they are the screamers you want if you plan on taking any screamers. |
 |
Just because you can wear E9 tee shirts, beanies or chalkbags doesn’t automatically mean you can climb E9. |
 |
Harnesses, helmets and the Eddy belay device along with some great ropes. |
 |
Definitely, probably, certainly our favourite climbing magazine, maybe. Most of the time. |
We also have selected climbing clothing from the huge ranges of Prana, Patagonia, The North Face and specially chosen tops, bottoms and hats from Chillaz, Nihil and Lost Arrow.
These guys really are friends of Rock On, not just random people to make us look popular. Some are long term customers or former colleagues or climbing partners and we recommend them because we know they are good at what they do and we like them.
| Martin Castle Ltd. | Martin runs IRATA training courses at Mile End Climbing Wall. A good bloke and a good instructor. |
| Alice Turner | In a former life Alice worked at our Mile End shop. That’s not really to big her up, that’s to big us up. A talented climber, she is passionate and knowledgeable about the mountains which certainly helps make her an excellent instructor. We cannot recommend her highly enough. |
| A great apartment in Argentiere | Click on this link to rent a great apartment perfectly situated for an Alpine trip. It might happen to belong to someone we know.. |
| Boulder Bus | A really good way to get to Font for a weekends bouldering. They also organise trips to other collections of large stones here and there. |
| Hot Rock | Brilliant climbing tours. A few of our colleagues and friends have jumped aboard the big red truck to travel the world. |
 |
The only place we recommend you send your old faithful rock shoes for a resole. No climber worth her rand patch would disagree. |
