With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

An extraordinary tale of an extraordinary climber
Jules Lines is Britain's most accomplished free solo climber. His quiet demeanour and natural technique have earned him the unofficial title of 'The Dark Horse' in Scottish climbing circles. In this, his first book, he recounts adventures and misadventures worldwide, from early achievements - completing all 277 Munros (1987) whilst still at school - to the continuing challenges of the present day. Spanning more than three decades of extreme climbing, his reflections reveal the drive and determination required for a human being to repeatedly gamble with his own existence, and for it to become not only a way of life, but his entire raison d'etre.
"I met up with Johnny Dawes on the boulders at Stanage and we talked a little about The Angels' Share. I mentioned that I thought it was fourth dimensional slab climbing, which questions its very possibility, as one’s balance and centre of gravity have to be of the utmost precision for a successful ascent. Johnny looked at me deeply with his wide, inquisitive eyes, studying what I had just said. Possibly I had caught him on his wavelength – moving in a world on a hidden dimensional plane. Or perhaps it was more fantastical than that, and we were fictional characters living amongst a playground of grit, playing out our dreams without destinies. "
